Court

Court of Appeal

Section 56(4) of the Senior Courts Act 2016 does not override the separate leave requirement in s124 of the Human Rights Act 1993; because the applicant did not obtain leave under s124, the Court of Appeal lacks jurisdiction and the review application is declined.

SMITH v CLAIMS RESOLUTION SERVICE LTD [2019] NZHC 2738

Citation

[2019] NZHC 2738
Court

High Court

By a close margin the court granted leave to appeal the High Court's interlocutory orders of 12 February 2019 and 9 May 2019 because the defendants' grounds raised arguable, not frivolous, issues of sufficient importance — including novel questions about using r4.24 where represented parties share a common defence — and an extension of time for the one day late filing was warranted; leave to cross-appeal on two specified rulings was also granted.
