Court

Court of Appeal

Because the trial and High Court decisions relied on unchallenged expert ecology and hydrology evidence and substantial disclosure was late while applicants were self-represented, the proposed fresh expert evidence could render the convictions unsafe; consequently leave to adduce the evidence and to bring a second appeal is granted.

TASMAN INSULATION NEW ZEALAND LTD v KNAUF INSULATION LTD [2013] NZHC 2167

Citation

[2013] NZHC 2167
Court

High Court

The court refused to exclude the plaintiff's market survey evidence because the plaintiff had disclosed the questions and summary results in a without prejudice letter dated 7 June 2013, which put defendants on notice of the surveys and meant they were not sufficiently prejudiced by the later service of full materials to justify exclusion; discovery and leave issues were reserved to trial.
