- High Court
The District Court erred in dismissing the landlord's claim for loss of rent: the evidence established on the balance of probabilities that the respondent interfered with the upstairs power and intended to induce the tenant to abandon the tenancy, causation and loss were proven (unpaid rent NZD 4,800), and mitigation arguments did not reduce recovery; appeal allowed in part and judgment entered for NZD 4,800 plus interest.
