- Citation
- [2019] NZHC 2940
- Court
- High Court
Joinder of Auckland Council was refused because the Trust's claims concerned duties, decisions and alleged wrongs arising within Waikato's territorial jurisdiction and any declaration or damages order sought would not directly affect Auckland's legal rights or liabilities; administrative cooperation and a joint-signed decision did not convert separate statutory functions into joint legal liability and did not make Auckland's presence necessary under either limb of r 4.56.
- Joinder of parties
