   ...and it is appropriate for the Court to have regard to those principles recognised by the courts in earlier decisions relating to the grant of Mareva injunctions. Thus, in Shaw v Narain, 3 Justice Gault in delivering the judgment of the Court of Appeal emphasised the flexibility of the jurisdiction and noted: There must be a good arguable case that the person seeking the injunction will succeed in a claim against the owner of the property to be frozen. There must be a real risk...

   ...successful. [2] The statutory provision by which the Court can order costs is cl 19 of Schedule 3 to the Employment Relations Act 2000 (the Act).

   ...intention to challenge is minimal. [19] There is no prejudice to Mr Kirkwood arising from the period between the expiry of the 28 days and the bringing to his notice of the intention to challenge. Although, as with most litigants who learn of an appeal brought right at the end of the period within which it may be by right and asserting prejudice by reason of delay of finality, Mr Kirkwood cannot in truth be said to have been prejudiced by the short delay, at least in a way that can...

   ...[3] After hearing counsel in support of the application, I decided that one of the essential statutory ingredients for granting such an order was not established on the evidence. Because, however, the plaintiff should have opportunities to both appeal against that refusal and to apply without notice for other injunctive orders, I prohibit publication of this judgment beyond the plaintiff and its solicitors and counsel for the period of 7 days from today’s date or such further perio...

   ...the probability of a result, it is simply not possible to say that the plaintiff has so little prospect of success that she should be required to pay security for costs at a level which will prevent her from pursuing her case where the decision appealed from does not address a number of obvious, relevant and important legal issues. [17] The fact that the plaintiff’s challenge will raise these issues for argument and decision counts against the defendant’s assertion that the plai...

   ...that the proceedings have tracked. In a technical sense I believe that the doctrine could apply as against Mr Waaka. I do not accept that this is a case where successive applications could be made as was dealt with by the New Zealand Court of Appeal recently. 2 Here the normal rules of estoppel will apply. [13] I prefer however, to deal with the matter on the basis of a series of cases which deal with the situation where parties are linked to the earlier case culminating in the...

    ...Mr Fletcher submitted that the Authority’s investigation is awaiting the completion of mediation, which is currently adjourned. He says that the requested documents are important for the mediation process because a mediation result cannot be appealed and any factual or legal anomaly carried into mediation cannot subsequently be corrected. It is accordingly submitted that significant irreversible consequences will be suffered if his challenge cannot proceed. I do not accept this...
