Strategy Meets Success With Our Fair-Trading Lawyer in NZ
Fair trade ensures a level playing field in the business environment where competitive pricing balances the market. For example, if a third party subsidises a company to offer their product or service at low prices, they gain an unfair advantage over other companies who can’t offer such low prices due to the lack of a sponsor for expenses and overheads.
Rob Latton practices in the competition and fair-trading areas of law and has the skill and experience to ensure favourable outcomes for related legal needs. For example, in the Newport v Coburn & Ors case, he successfully appeared before the Court of Appeal, where the appellant was found liable for breaches of the Fair-Trading Act.

Besides successful appeals, Latton also has a track record of favourable applications for interim injunctions, freezing orders, search and seizure orders, and appointments of interim liquidators.
His other areas of service include shareholder disputes regarding breaches of duties. One such case went to trial. After a one-day cross-examination of the principal plaintiff by Latton, the plaintiffs discontinued their claim and paid a significant contribution towards the defendants’ costs.
