ROSS v SOUTHERN RESPONSE EARTHQUAKE SERVICES LIMITED [2021] NZHC 632
- Citation
- [2021] NZHC 632
- Court
- High Court
LPF's application to intervene was dismissed because it was premature and opportunistic: no competing representative proceeding funded by LPF had been filed, LPF's intervention was driven by commercial interest rather than impartial assistance to the Court, existing parties were adequately represented on the communications issue, and convening carriage‑motion timetabling before an alternative proceeding exists would be unjust and risk prejudice and inefficiency.
