- High Court
Applying a liberal, facilitative approach to r 4.24 consistent with Houghton and Saunders, the Court found sufficient commonality of interest across the pleaded groups (noting limited distinctions confined to the CCFA/Consumer Group claim) and granted the representation order as sought; it approved the funder and funding agreement, ordered bank-backed security for costs as agreed, required agreed particulars of group members, and fixed an opt-in deadline of midnight 13 December 2013 (NZ time).
