B, M & W v ATTORNEY-GENERAL [2022] NZHC 422
- Citation
- [2022] NZHC 422
- Court
- High Court
Joinder of CBOT is granted because it is properly identified as a defendant on the same facts and grounds as the existing proceedings, delay was explicable and not materially prejudicial, and potential limitation/ACC defences cannot be finally determined on this interlocutory application; joinder is ordered on terms to protect CBOT from prejudice by fixing the date of joinder as the date of the application (8 December 2021) so the claim does not relate back to the original filing date.
