BROWN v JOHNSTON [2020] NZHC 881
- Citation
- [2020] NZHC 881
- Court
- High Court
Leave to commence a separate originating application in the Christchurch High Court was declined because permitting a separate proceeding would create duplicative litigation across registries concerning the same trust and property issues that are already the subject of extant proceedings in the Dunedin High Court; the applicant must pursue relief by counterclaim in the existing Dunedin proceedings and may seek summary judgment or an urgent telephone conference to expedite resolution.
