Citation

[2018] NZHC 2311
Court

High Court

Leave was granted because Victoria Street West's interests were directly relevant to the core dispute about beneficial ownership of the first defendant's assets, the company had been restored to the Companies Register so no registration impediment existed, and the liquidator expressly consented to proceedings; given imminent pleading and trial timetables joinder was necessary and appropriate.

SISSON v THE COMMISSIONER OF INLAND REVENUE [2016] NZCA 553

Citation

[2016] NZCA 553
Court

Court of Appeal

The Registrar correctly refused to accept the notice of appeal because the Associate Judge's order striking out the proceedings was made in Chambers under s26J of the Judicature Act and, by s26P(2), is not appealable to this Court; the proper remedy is a High Court review under s26P(1).

Court

High Court

The Court found no abuse of process and that there was an arguable case the caveat protected a registerable interest; accordingly it granted leave under Companies Act s248(1)(c)(i)/(ii) to commence the proceeding and ordered that caveat 7956088.1 shall not lapse until further order, with costs to the respondent on a Category 2(B) basis.
