- High Court
The Court confined the stage one issues to whether MPI owed a duty of care in the pre-importation context, the standard of care between January 2007 and June 2010, whether Psa-V entered New Zealand as pleaded and if so whether MPI breached that duty causing loss to Strathboss and/or Seeka; the Court limited the representative action to growers who opted in, rejected MPI's proposal for a broad multi-claimant first-stage sample, and ordered specific further disclosure and tailored discovery to enable litigation on those narrowed issues.
