Application was resolved before determination on the merits by respondents providing the requested documents; exercise of discretion under HCR 8.22(3) and Clear Communications factors did not justify awarding costs to the applicant against the first respondent; costs lie where they fall for the first respondent; applicant must pay second respondent and must pay one shared 2B award to third and fourth respondents, each with disbursements.

NORRIS WARD MCKINNON v KAYE & ANOR [2016] NZHC 3089

Citation

[2016] NZHC 3089
Court

High Court

The adjudication of Morva Kaye is annulled because, on balance, had the court been apprised of her personal circumstances and the consequences to her employment and professional status the court would not have adjudicated her bankrupt; the annulment for Anthony Pratt Kaye is refused because service was adequate, his asserted mistake about the date was not established as reasonable and, given insolvency and the fixed costs judgments, adjudication was appropriate.
