6. KK v W Ltd [2025] NZDT 8 (29 January 2025) [pdf, 122 KB]

   ...Did F Ltd fail to provide services to KK with reasonable care and skill? 5. The law of contract and the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (“the CGA”) apply. When a supplier provides services of any kind to a customer, a contract of services is formed.

I have therefore determined that KS should be pai...

The Corporation had a responsibility to follow through and approve cover once it received the reports it had requested. The Corporation’s failure to extend cover for CRPS, or at least advise Ms Watson of the need for her to lodge a claim for such cover, shows a picture of neglect by the Corporation.
