EA v RENNIE COX LAWYERS [2017] NZHC 770

- High Court
Leave to appeal was granted only on issues concerning the status of the general rule about irregularly obtained default judgments, the residual discretion to uphold such judgments, and the correctness of conflicting High Court authorities because those questions raise matters of significant public interest and have not been considered by the Court of Appeal since 1983; the remaining proposed grounds did not warrant leave as they were case-specific and involved relatively small sums.
