Wright v Wright [2017] NZHC 3053

- Court
- High Court
The application is dismissed because (1) the District Court appeal had already addressed and rejected the complaint, giving rise to res judicata; (2) the counterclaim was properly before the Disputes Tribunal (stamped and fully argued) and non-payment of the filing fee did not invalidate it; and (3) the applicant's inordinate delay in bringing the proceeding amounted to an abuse of the Court's process.
