MUSE ON ALLEN LTD v JOZSEF GABOR SZEKELY [2016] NZHC 1131
- Citation
- [2016] NZHC 1131
- Court
- High Court
The statement of claim was struck out because the pleaded partnership agreement did not include or designate Muse on Allen Ltd such that s 4 of the Contracts (Privity) Act 1982 could be relied upon, so there was no reasonably arguable cause of action against the defendant, and independently the proceeding was invalidly commenced because the statement of claim was signed and filed by a non‑solicitor (Mr Malcolm North).
