AHS CONSTRUCTION LTD v ANDREWS [2019] NZHC 1779

Citation

[2019] NZHC 1779
Court

High Court

Because the respondents are resident in Australia and had arranged a liquidation sale of their only New Zealand asset without making provision to pay AHS, the Court inferred an intent to defeat creditors under r 17.41(b) and granted leave to issue a charging order over Lot 1 DP 479371 (333 Pahoia Road) to secure payment of the amount AHS may obtain judgment for ($99,358.96).

Court

Court of Appeal

The Court refused the stay because it avoided rendering the appeal nugatory by promptly listing the appeal, the appellant absented himself and failed to take the High Court's opportunity to avoid committal, and his conduct did not justify granting a stay as an indulgence.
