On 16 December 2016, in The Attorney-General v The Problem Gambling Foundation of New Zealand the Court of Appeal has confirmed the traditional approach to the judicial review of a Government procurement process. That approach is that judicial review is only available where the procurement involves public interest considerations.

In this newsletter, we discuss this case as it applies to procurement processes.
