Court

Court of Appeal

The Deputy Registrar's decision was upheld because the appeal lacked a realistic prospect of success, the appellants are bankrupt and objectively unreasonable to pursue the same disputed issues again, and therefore it was proper to require security of costs to protect the respondents.

SIEMER V ATTORNEY-GENERAL OF NEW ZEALAND CA319/2013 [2013] NZCA 391

Citation

[2013] NZCA 391
Court

Court of Appeal

The Registrar's refusal to dispense with security for costs was upheld because the appellant did not prove impecuniosity with adequate supporting evidence, did not demonstrate exceptional circumstances or an arguable appeal such that the interests of justice required waiver, and Toogood J's reasons disposed of the core merits issue.
