ACTION MEDIA LIMITED v MITCHELL [2014] NZHC 3143

- High Court
Transfer and consolidation refused because, although the claims arise from the same broad factual context, the debt claim is appropriately dealt with in the District Court, the factual and legal overlap is limited and not determinative, transfer would deprive the respondent of the mandatory District Court JSC and likely cause delay and inefficiency, and consolidation is not justified given the differing scope and stages of the proceedings.
