BENJAMIN MORLAND EASTON v ATTORNEY GENERAL (CROWN) [2019] NZHC 2910

Citation

[2019] NZHC 2910
Court

High Court

The proceedings were struck out because the statement of claim disclosed no reasonably arguable cause of action: it did not identify any decision or act by the Registrars or Crown subject to review, did not specify persons or duties to be compelled by mandamus, and the claims amounted to an abusive and frivolous use of process.
