Subject: NZ Supreme Court on "scope of duty" and SAAMCO

Colleagues may be interest in the New Zealand Supreme Court's decision in Routhan and Anor as Trustees of the Kaniere Family Trust v PGG Wrightson Real Estate Limited [2025] NZSC 68.

https://www.courtsofnz.govt.nz/assets/cases/2025/2025-NZSC-68.pdf

The case discusses the "scope of duty principle and the SAAMCO cap". On a quick read through, quite different approaches appear to be taken by the judges.

Best wishes,

Tim
