GARTH BOWKETT PATERSON v LEPIONKA & COMPANY INVESTMENTS LIMITED [2021] NZCA 364

- Court of Appeal
The Court struck out the appeals as the underlying High Court proceedings were frivolous, vexatious and an abuse of process, principally because the claims were barred by res judicata following the Liability judgment and settlement and the malicious prosecution claim lacked the necessary favourable termination; however the appellant may appeal the s166 barring order itself and that aspect is allowed to proceed.
