    CRIDGE AND UNWIN v STUDORP LTD [2017] NZHC 528

    Citation
    [2017] NZHC 528
    Court
    High Court

    A limited stay of execution was granted: plaintiffs are prohibited from advertising that the Court has granted representative orders or that the claim has Court permission to be brought as a class action and from signing up new plaintiffs who would be ineligible if the appeal succeeds, because the potential for confusion among potential claimants and lack of court oversight of advertising outweighed plaintiffs' interest in immediately publicising the court's representative orders; other publicity and case management steps remain available and the stay is narrowly tailored.
