DUNSTAN v BANK OF NEW ZEALAND [2023] NZHC 200
- Citation

- Court
- High Court
The claim was struck out because posting a promissory note by a stranger, without the bank's acceptance and without adoption by the debtors (the trustees), does not discharge the debt; BNZ expressly rejected the note and there is no evidence of trustees' adoption, so the plaintiff's claim disclosed no arguable cause of action.
