STALIX PROPERTY LIMITED v WU [2022] NZHC 2067

Citation

[2022] NZHC 2067
Court

High Court

The stay was declined because the third defendant added nothing new to earlier stay attempts, prior consolidated judgments (including Gendall J's) had already disposed of her claims, any technical irregularity in form did not affect validity, and the prospects of a successful appeal were so poor that a stay was unjustified.

GRINDLAY v MEMELINK [2017] NZCA 243

Citation

[2017] NZCA 243
Court

Court of Appeal

An extension of time to file the review was granted; the Registrar correctly applied Reekie and rationally concluded the appeal had some merit and that exceptional circumstances (appellant's impecuniosity, factual issues about contract signature/amendment and substantial exposure to a damages award) justified dispensing with security for costs; accordingly the review of the Registrar's decision was declined.
