- High Court
The settlement of the primary claim between Adama and Raam removed the principal factors that had previously supported assuming jurisdiction in New Zealand (notably concurrent litigation of core facts and procedural consistency); on the rehearing Raam no longer established that New Zealand was the appropriate forum under r 6.28(5)(c) and therefore failed the r 6.29 test, so UPL's protest to jurisdiction must stand and the third party claim against UPL is dismissed.
