ADAMA NEW ZEALAND LIMITED v RAAM CHEM PTE LIMITED [2020] NZHC 1163
- Citation
- [2020] NZHC 1163
- Court
- High Court
On balance New Zealand was the appropriate forum for Raam's third party claim against UPL because the loss arose in New Zealand, Adama's primary claim against Raam is to be tried here and core factual issues overlap, consistency and practical ability to present New Zealand witness evidence favor a single forum, Raam established a real and substantial connection and a serious issue to be tried, and therefore UPL's appearance under protest was set aside and it must file a defence in New Zealand.
