SKELTON v Z487 LIMITED [2015] NZHC 1338

Citation

[2015] NZHC 1338
Court

High Court

Withholding broad discovery was justified because most categories sought were relevant only to quantum, not liability; however documents concerning market access fee offsets (Category 9) were directly relevant to the plaintiff's allegation of post-11 December 2013 breaches and must be disclosed within 21 days. Categories 7 and 12 were too vague and refused. Leave to file the fourth amended statement of defence is granted subject to a timetable for the plaintiff to respond.

WATER GUARD NZ LTD v CYNORTIC WATER SYSTEMS LTD [2014] NZHC 3389

Citation

[2014] NZHC 3389
Court

High Court

An interim injunction was granted to preserve the pre-existing undertakings and status quo because there was a serious question to be tried about the effectiveness of the 10 December 2014 cancellation and whether defendants breached prior undertakings; the balance of convenience and overall justice favored maintaining the status quo subject to adequate undertakings as to damages and a condition that plaintiff source parts from Cynortic, with the injunction conditional on provision of the personal undertaking and trust undertaking as to damages.
