 In "Acquaculture Corporation v New Zealand Green Mussel Co Ltd", the majority of the New Zealand Court of Appeal held that in addition to compensation, punitive damages could be awarded for breach of confidence, albeit that, on the facts, they were not merited.Similarly, in "Cook v Evatt (No.2)", Fisher J in the New Zealand High Court added exemplary damages of NZ$5,000 to an account of profits of over NZ$20,000 for breach of fiduciary duty.In very few industries, punitive damages could be awarded in either contractual or tort case, except a tort relevant to product defraud or defect.
