DEVGNZ LIMITED v THE DEPTHS LP [2021] NZHC 3398
- Citation
- [2021] NZHC 3398
- Court
- High Court
The plaintiffs' allegations of defendant misconduct lacked sufficient evidential foundation while the defendant presented cogent, cross-validated forensic evidence implicating the plaintiffs; the balance of convenience favoured refusing the injunction because damages were adequate for the plaintiffs but inadequate to redress the defendant's and franchise network's reputational and brand harm; overall justice did not require forcing the parties to continue the franchise relationship, so the continuation of the interim injunction was refused.
