WALKER v HENDERSON [2017] NZHC 1090
- Citation
- [2017] NZHC 1090
- Court
- High Court
The Court found there was a breach of the undertaking given by Walker to the Court because Walker disclosed documents that were personal and irrelevant to the proceedings; the breach constituted contempt. However, because the breach was inadvertent, significant remedial steps were taken promptly by Walker's solicitors, some consequences were beyond Walker's control, and the applicant delayed bringing the contempt application, the Court exercised its discretion to record the finding of contempt but make no further orders and no order as to costs.
