REASONS OF THE COURT

(Given by Brown J)

1. On 17 December 2020 Ms Harrison filed an appeal against a judgment of the High Court delivered on 19 November 2020 which made orders striking out two proceedings brought by Ms Harrison.[1]

   [1]Harrison v Harrison [2020] NZHC 3066.

2. A decision of the Deputy Registrar dated 22 September 2021 declined Ms Harrison’s request for dispensation from the requirement to pay security for costs but reduced the amount payable by Ms Harrison to $14,120.00. 

3. Ms Harrison’s application for review of the Deputy Registrar’s decision was declined in a judgment dated 13 June 2022.  Ms Harrison was directed to pay security for costs in the sum of $14,120.00 by 12 July 2022.[2]  The judgment advised that if she failed to comply with that direction her appeal would be struck out.
