RIDGWAY EMPIRE LTD v GRANT [2019] NZSC 85
- Citation
- [2019] NZSC 85
- Court
- Supreme Court
The Court refused leave because the issues did not raise matters of general or public importance and were factual; on the facts the vendor's unqualified oral statements about weathertightness, made while marketing the unit and given his superior knowledge and failure to disclose prior significant leaks, amounted to actionable representations of present fact on which the purchaser reasonably relied, supporting the damages awarded by the courts below.
