EDWARDS v HUTT VALLEY DISTRICT COURT [2020] NZHC 1388

- Court
- High Court
The proceeding was struck out as an abuse of process because it attempted to relitigate matters already finally determined by multiple judges and was manifestly unfair to respondents; the high threshold for striking out was met and the inherent jurisdiction and High Court Rules provide authority to stop such repetitive litigation; further, the substantive challenge failed as the statutory scheme for charging documents did not confer the alleged right to be heard.
