CIV-2015-404-001925 Mr AP Johnson and Low Volume Vehicle Technical Association vs John Brett

Auckland High Court
I self represented as a Lay Litigant
The trial occurred on Monday and Tuesday this week.
I claimed that I did not recognize the LVVTA as a legitimate party to the proceedings. My witness, Mr Robert Berger was unavailable, being in Intensive care in hospital in Australia, so his Affidavit was taken as read.
20th November 2017 Judgement now delivered- criticism of the LVVTA is protected by Qualified Privilege under the Bill of Rights. Criticism of Mr Johnson is NOT protected, as he is seen as a volunteer simply acting on the instruction of the LVVTA, and I am therefore liable for defamation of Mr Johnson
John Brett
Full Judgement here: CIV2015-404-1925 20-11-17 JUDG
Still waiting for the Judgment from Justice Palmer- the Registrar says it has to be done within 3 months- by 1 November for this case
Any updates? I’m guessing you can’t discuss the actual issues until proceedings are complete?
Hi Brian
We have had two memoranda from the Judge Palmer J, and an indication that his judgement will be delivered soon.
I will post the judgement when it is released.
Thank you for your interest
Regards
John
