Summary judgment application dismissed as non-compliant with r12; the statement of claim was struck out because Privacy Act claims were not available against a news medium and conferred no private enforceable right, copyright claims were untenable because the publisher commissioned the photographs under s21 Copyright Act 1994 so the plaintiff lacked standing, and defamation allegations were fatally deficient for failure to comply with s37 (no particulars of meaning), such that no reasonable cause of action was disclosed.
