MERJ HOLDINGS LTD v SIPKA HOLDINGS LTD [2016] NZHC 931

Citation

[2016] NZHC 931
Court

High Court

The High Court declined leave to appeal because s 76 is broad and the remittal to the District Court was a proper exercise of that discretion on the facts; the issues raised were not capable of bona fide and serious argument of sufficient public or private importance to justify a further appeal.

Court

High Court

Interim/interlocutory money orders may be registered under s 3(3) because, where the foreign court has finally and conclusively fixed minimum amounts payable between the parties and the debtor had the opportunity to contest them, such orders satisfy the statutory requirement of being "final and conclusive"; accordingly the English orders for specified sums were registrable and are registered in sterling.
