HARVEY v HARVEY [2020] NZHC 1886

- Court
- High Court
Application for non-party discovery dismissed because the financial statements sought are not relevant to the issue of whether the applicant is entitled to further provision under the Family Protection Act: the 2002 deed of distribution fixed agreed values and transfers, increases in company value since 2002 derive from the brothers' efforts and are therefore not material to the father's intent to 'even up' via the OHL legacy, and ordering discovery would be disproportionate to any relevance.
