DOTCOM v TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX FILM CORPORATION & ORS [2014] NZHC 1980

- High Court
The application for a stay of execution was dismissed because the respondents demonstrated a good arguable case that potential damages could exceed the value of assets currently restrained in New Zealand, meaning a stay would risk defeating enforcement; the applicant did not demonstrate sufficient prejudice from disclosure and confidentiality protections and judicial conditions provide adequate protection, so refusing the stay and varying the disclosure order to preserve confidentiality was the appropriate exercise of discretion.
