BAYER NEW ZEALAND LIMITED v MINISTRY FOR PRIMARY INDUSTRIES [2020] NZHC 3470

Citation

[2020] NZHC 3470
Court

High Court

Interim relief was declined because the balance of convenience and interests of justice favored refusal: MPI's regulatory interest and the importance of voluntary compliance, the disadvantage to competitors and public confidence outweighed Bayer's commercial prejudice, Bayer had knowingly assumed commercial risk by relaunching a product MPI consistently regarded as non‑compliant, and the appeal would not be rendered nugatory by refusal of interim relief.

Court

High Court

The court awarded the applicant costs for preparing, filing and serving the r 8.20 application and for attending mentions because it was necessary to obtain access to the documents; separately the court held that commonsense and fairness entitled the respondent to recover the costs of actually providing the discovery even though no formal order under r 8.22 was made, and the court may make such an order under its general powers where the Rules make no provision.
