RAFIQ v AUCKLAND TRANSPORT [2018] NZHC 641

Citation

[2018] NZHC 641
Court

High Court

Leave was refused because the draft statement of claim did not disclose a serious prima facie case, the claims were abusive/vexatious given the applicant's history and exorbitant damages claims, and claims against the Court or its officers are barred by immunity, making the proposed proceeding unsuited for leave.

Citation

Court

High Court

Plaintiff lacks standing to pursue claims for losses alleged to have been suffered by WISA and has not pleaded personal loss sufficient to sustain tort claims; the causes of action are plainly untenable (including that the claim against the Registrar was misconceived because WISA is a charity and that s229A obliged the Polytechnic to pass on fees), therefore the entire Statement of Claim is struck out.
