Note: 

Masterton is a filing-only registry for the High Court; proceedings filed in Masterton are generally heard in Wellington.

New business includes all new bankruptcy cases (adjudication applications) and company liquidation cases filed, and previously disposed cases that have been reactivated by the filing of a new application.

Disposals are counted at the delivery of the final judgment, or at an earlier final outcome.

Active cases are those bankruptcy cases (adjudication applications) and company liquidation cases awaiting a hearing or are awaiting the final judgment.
