PRECAST NZ LIMITED v ANYSTEP LIMITED [2016] NZHC 203

- High Court
The application for a pre-trial separate question was dismissed because Anystep failed to show good reasons for severance: the proposed question was not sufficiently demarcable from other issues given overlapping contract interpretation and factual matrix evidence; determination would not end the proceedings; severance would likely cause duplication, delay and multiple appeals; and the asserted urgency did not outweigh these disadvantages.
