    MCLEAN v MARSHALL [2015] NZCA 370

    [2015] NZCA 370
    Court
    Court of Appeal

    The trial judge erred by misconstruing the appellant's claim as costs to complete an unfinished system rather than costs to restore the source code to its termination-state; because liability for the breach (failure to provide termination-date source code) was found but evidence of quantum and causation was inadequately addressed, the dismissal of the $103,033.08 claim was set aside and the question of quantum remitted for rehearing so the specific loss and its causation can be properly proven.
