ROCK SOLID HOLDINGS LTD v SIMMONS [2020] NZHC 3487

Citation

[2020] NZHC 3487
Court

High Court

The interrogatories (numbers 1–10 and 12–15) were relevant to matters pleaded, not unduly wide or oppressive, and therefore the defendant was ordered to answer them fully and verify the answers by affidavit within five working days; costs were awarded to the plaintiffs on a 2B basis.

ALLAHYAI V R SC 47/2006

Citation

SC 47/2006
Court

Supreme Court

Leave to appeal was dismissed because the Court of Appeal correctly applied settled principles in refusing the fresh evidence as lacking cogency, the remaining grounds were either strategic/tactical decisions by experienced counsel or did not show prejudicial error, and nothing established a real risk of a substantial miscarriage of justice warranting this Court's intervention.
