An application by Unison Networks Limited for an injunction to stop the Commerce Commission proceeding to publish an intention to declare control of the company was dismissed in the Wellington High Court on Friday 29th July.

Justice McKenzie dismissed Unison's application for interim relief, stating:

"I am satisfied that the prejudicial effect on Unison of further action by the Commission is outweighed by the interruption to the Commission's processes and procedures which an interim order would entail."

Unison has appealed the decision.
