- Citation
- [2020] NZHC 1867
- Court
- High Court
Leave to amend was granted because the court concluded the real controversy should go to trial, the first defendant would not be significantly prejudiced given its prior testing involvement, and delay could be managed by directions; the first defendant's application to vacate/adjourn the trial was declined because the overall interests of justice favoured proceeding on 3 August 2020 and issues could be managed during the trial. The court ordered immediate non‑destructive testing of the yellow phase clamp under specified conditions.
