EQUITY TRUST INTERNATIONAL LTD v TRANSPARENCY NEW ZEALAND LTD [2014] NZHC 3192
- Citation
- [2014] NZHC 3192
- Court
- High Court
The strike out application was dismissed because the statement of claim, read on its pleaded facts, discloses reasonably arguable causes of action in defamation, malicious falsehood and breach of undertaking; the pleaded meanings imputing involvement in fraud, money laundering and connections with organised crime are not so untenable that they cannot possibly succeed, and the deficiencies and procedural irregularities alleged did not establish frivolousness, vexatiousness or abuse of process.
