MILES ROGER WISLANG v THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL [2021] NZHC 1865

Citation

[2021] NZHC 1865
Court

High Court

The application for leave to appeal was dismissed because it failed the high threshold for interlocutory leave: it did not raise a seriously arguable or sufficiently important question, the applicant's bankruptcy had rendered the only credible basis for a stay spent, and no public importance justified the delay.

Court

High Court

The court dismissed the summary judgment application and discontinued the proceeding following the defendant's adjudication in bankruptcy, and awarded the plaintiff costs and disbursements of $13,669.74 because the loan documents contractually entitled the plaintiff to solicitor and own client costs and the plaintiff's invoices and disbursements were found to be reasonable.
