- Court
- High Court
The Court lacks jurisdiction to review the Associate Judge's summary judgment decision in the High Court (such challenges must be appealed to the Court of Appeal), but the Court had jurisdiction to review the strike out of a counterclaim that relates to a proceeding pending before 1 March 2017; on the merits the counterclaim disclosed no reasonable cause of action (failed to plead elements of negligence or contract) and was properly struck out, so the review was dismissed and related applications (stay and leave to adduce evidence) were refused.
