DOUGLAS v SUTTER LIMITED [2018] NZHC 137

Citation

[2018] NZHC 137
Court

High Court

The tenancy was periodic so s7 did not apply; the Tenancy Tribunal had ample evidential foundation that the s51 90-day notice was valid and not retaliatory under s54; further evidence was not admissible on this s119 appeal; accordingly the High Court dismissed the appeal and upheld the Tribunal and District Court decisions.

Heaslip v Accident Compensation Corporation

Citation

[2005] NZACC 89
Court

District Court

The application to join DRSL was dismissed because the appellate jurisdiction under s149 is limited to the primary decision and the review application; joinder was therefore misconceived, although matters relevant to the review and appeal process may be considered without joining that party.
