- [2021] 2 NZLR 685
- Court
- Court of Appeal
Appeal dismissed: the Court upheld the High Court finding that although Hyndman had a reasonable expectation of privacy in the emails, the disclosure did not meet the required 'highly offensive' threshold; the Court declined to remove or reformulate that limb of the tort in this case and held the claim would fail even under the English formulation; costs awarded to respondent.
