[2016] NZSC 55
Court

Supreme Court

The applications for leave to appeal were dismissed because Wild J correctly applied Reekie to conclude there is no right under s 61A(2) to review single-judge decisions in these circumstances and the proposed appeals did not raise any issue of public or general importance nor any appearance of miscarriage of justice.

Court

Court of Appeal

Leave to appeal was refused because the discovery demands in the fraud proceedings amounted to an abuse of process by seeking effectively to re-open issues already considered by earlier discovery judgments; the prospect of success was bleak, further discovery would cause undue delay and prejudice to resolution of the substantive grievance, and the balance of utility did not justify granting leave.
