COLIN GRAEME CRAIG v JACQUELINE STIEKEMA [2017] NZHC 614
- Citation

- Court
- High Court
The proceeding was transferred to the District Court because the total claim ($240,000) falls within District Court jurisdiction, the matter is not sufficiently complex or of general/public importance to justify remaining in the High Court, and a jury trial would be disproportionate for a claim within the District Court's monetary jurisdiction causing likely greater delay and resource burden.
