    Citation
    [2023] NZHC 610
    Court
    High Court

    Two proceedings commenced by the respondent (the High Court Companies Act claim and the Family Court personal property claim) were bound to fail and therefore totally without merit; the protection order variation was interlocutory but also premature and without merit; the Court exercised its discretion under s166 to make an extended restraint order prohibiting the respondent from commencing or continuing civil proceedings concerning the relationship without leave for three years, but excluded applications under the Family Violence Act; suppression and costs ordered.
