BURROWS v THOMSON [2018] NZHC 2761

Citation

[2018] NZHC 2761
Court

High Court

The High Court upheld the District Court: the appellant's repeated contacts and conduct constituted a pattern of specified acts amounting to harassment under ss3 and 4, s17 did not justify his conduct, the respondent subjectively and objectively feared for her safety and the making of a restraining order for three years was necessary to protect her.

COOK V HOUSING NEW ZEALAND CORPORATION CA325/2014 [2014] NZCA 504

Citation

[2014] NZCA 504
Court

Court of Appeal

The application was dismissed because it did not raise any question of law of general or public importance under s120(3) RTA; the matters complained of were merits-based factual findings which the Tenancy Tribunal and District Court had considered and which were affirmed on review, so there was no proper basis to grant special leave.
