- Court of Appeal
The Court held the High Court had jurisdiction to make the ancillary order under r 32.3 as a prospective freezing measure; the respondents satisfied r 32.5 by showing a good arguable case and sufficient prospect of a US judgment exceeding the NZ$11.8m restrained assets and of enforceability in New Zealand because Mr Dotcom had submitted to US jurisdiction; the ancillary order was not inconsistent with the US stay; confidentiality orders were modified as set out.
