CaseChat Overview and Summary

In Haig v Edgewater Developers Ltd, the Court of Appeal of New Zealand allowed the appeal by the appellant, Robert Haig, and set aside the order for summary judgment granted by the Associate Judge in favour of the respondents. The Court held that the New Zealand courts had jurisdiction over the claim and that New Zealand was the appropriate forum for the dispute. The Court also found that the summary judgment application was wrongly granted because the New Zealand companies were proper parties to the claim. The Court awarded costs for a standard appeal on a Band A basis and usual disbursements to the appellant.
