MONTICELLO HOLDINGS LIMITED v SELWYN DISTRICT COUNCIL [2015] NZHC 1674

- High Court
SDC owed no duty of care to Monticello: (a) no duty arose from the resource consent process; (b) no LIM was sought by Monticello so no proximate relationship arose; (c) although a PIM duty exists to the PIM requestor, the PIM in question was obtained by the neighbour and the duty did not extend to Monticello; accordingly plaintiff's negligence claim fails.
