JONES v LLANHENNOCK TRUST PARTNERSHIP [2020] NZHC 1409

Citation

[2020] NZHC 1409
Court

High Court

The appeal is dismissed except insofar as CVS must file a further affidavit within 14 days specifying the likely time, effort and cost to identify and list documents created between January 2017 and December 2018 relating to treatment of yearling colts with the same symptoms as the colt Adalia and the procedure and difficulties in doing so; affidavits of Mr Lawrence and Ms Woolrich otherwise satisfied discovery requirements and VPI need take no further steps; non-party discovery is constrained by relevance and proportionality and must not be used as a fishing expedition.

Court

High Court

The application to recall was dismissed because it did not assert or establish any of the recognised grounds for recall (per Horowhenua County v Nash (No.2)); further applications to amend the statement of claim or to add respondents were dismissed because the proceeding had already been struck out for lack of standing and as an abuse of process, leaving no claim to amend or parties to add.

Court

High Court

The order directing service on Reyburn & Bryant Ltd was not rescinded because there was a legitimate basis in natural justice for giving notice to the surveyor who prepared the plan under consideration so they could be heard on the accuracy of that plan; absence of party status or joinder did not require rescission and no sufficient prejudice or abuse of process was demonstrated.
