SAVVY VINEYARDS 4334 LIMITED v WETA ESTATE LIMITED [2020] NZSC 115

- Supreme Court
The Supreme Court held that clauses 2.2 and 2.4 must be read together to give Savvy two consecutive three-year periods (up to 1 May 2015) to give notice; Savvy's 17 November 2014 notice was effective. Weta's wrongful repudiation by its 20 December 2010 notice caused Savvy's loss because the reversed Court of Appeal judgment did not break the causal chain; accordingly respondents are liable on the first and second causes and inquiries into damages are ordered.
