The applicant failed to discharge the onus to show that transfer to Christchurch would result in greater fairness or convenience. Balancing the convenience of the larger number of parties favouring Christchurch against fairness to local parties and a small defendant, and given unresolved interlocutory matters and that the case was not ready for a firm November trial, the court concluded the balance marginally favoured preserving Invercargill as the trial venue.
