    ROUTHAN v PGG WRIGHTSON REAL ESTATE LIMITED [2023] NZSC 127

    Citation
    [2023] NZSC 127
    Court
    Supreme Court

    Extension of time to apply for leave to cross-appeal was granted. Leave to appeal and cross-appeal was granted in part limited to the question whether the Court of Appeal was correct in varying the damages awarded under the SAAMCO principle; all other grounds, including challenges to the finding that the representation was not deceitful and the respondent's cross-appeal on causation, were refused because they primarily required re-evaluation of factual findings and did not demonstrate a substantial miscarriage of justice.
