MASON v DODD [2020] NZHC 1508

- Court
- High Court
Summary judgment was dismissed because the negligence and contract claims raise contested factual issues (including interpretation of the defendant's statements, causation and loss), require expert evidence on the relevant professional standard, and face arguable limitation and causation defences, making the matter unsuitable for summary disposition.
