PETERSON v LUCAS [2015] NZHC 721
- Citation
- [2015] NZHC 721
- Court
- High Court
The statement of claim is an abuse of process and barred by issue estoppel because the matters alleged (illegitimacy of the threat, duress, entitlement under s34/s74/Berne Convention) were raised or could and should have been raised and were finally decided by earlier High Court and Court of Appeal judgments which found no illegitimate threat or dishonesty; consequently the present claim must be struck out.
