RE FOSTER [2019] NZHC 373
- Citation
- [2019] NZHC 373
- Court
- High Court
The Registrar correctly refused to file the proposed statement of claim because it failed to comply with r 5.11 (including the registry heading requirement in te reo Māori and other heading defects) and, more decisively, because the pleading includes allegations of criminal conspiracy against named individuals which cannot be pursued in a civil High Court proceeding and would be struck out as an abuse of process under r 5.35B and/or r 15.1; accordingly the review is declined and the document must not be accepted for filing in its current form.
