Court Litigation History

Court cases involving NZX-listed companies and their directors from New Zealand's High Court, Court of Appeal, and Supreme Court.

How this works: NZXplorer scans publicly available court judgments and matches party names to NZX-listed companies and their directors. Only cases with a confirmed name match are shown here. If a company or director does not appear, it means no matching court judgments were found — not that none exist. Some cases may be filed under subsidiary names, trading names, or in tribunals not yet covered.

Methodology & Sources

Court cases are collected from publicly available judgments on the Courts of New Zealand website. NZXplorer matches parties to NZX-listed companies and directors using trading name, company name, and director name matching. Matches are indicative, not definitive — manual verification is recommended for due diligence purposes.

Coverage limitations: This page only includes cases from courts that publish judgments online. District Court, Disputes Tribunal, and other specialist tribunals are not currently covered. Cases involving subsidiaries or trading names that differ from the NZX-listed entity may not be matched.
