BLOMFIELD v SLATER [2016] NZHC 149
- Citation
- [2016] NZHC 149
- Court
- High Court
The undertaking given in Manukau District Court is unqualified as to duration and remains in force until varied; publications 'concerning' the plaintiff fall within the undertaking even if he is not named; the term 'associates' is not to be read broadly to capture unrelated third parties but is limited to associates connected to the subject matter of the defamation proceedings; specific paragraphs and a 2013 article identified in judgment breached the undertaking and must be removed, while material relating solely to third parties unconnected to the pleadings need not be removed.
