Busby v IAG New Zealand Ltd [2019] NZHC 1852 is the first High Court decision on an application by a homeowner to transfer a High Court proceeding to the Canterbury Earthquakes Insurance Tribunal. The Busbys said they were worn out by cost and delay of the Court process. IAG said that the proceeding raised issues about land damage that was not within the jurisdiction of the Tribunal. Lester AJ decided that it was in the interests of justice to transfer the proceeding.
