The High Court has jurisdiction to hear the plaintiffs' summary judgment application because all parties and the property are in New Zealand, there is no statutory or contractual exclusion of jurisdiction and the procedural grounds relied on by defendants did not preclude the court from deciding jurisdiction; accordingly the defendants' appearance objecting to jurisdiction is set aside and the court directed steps for opposition and hearing.
