The application to strike out was dismissed. Monetary relief is time-barred for acts or omissions occurring before 5 October 2011, but narrative particulars may remain for context; declarations under NZBORA are not automatically barred by the Limitation Act by analogy and may be sought for pre-2011 conduct; the s 9 torture/cruel treatment claim was not an abuse of process because it relates to a different and later period (including detention in the High Care Unit) and the earlier claim had been conceded rather than finally determined, so re-litigation is not barred.
