NEW ZEALAND POLICE v PETER RICHARD PRESCOTT [2018] NZHC 618

- Court
- High Court
A halt order under s 42(2) of the Insolvency Act 2006 was appropriate and was granted pending the hearing and determination of Mr Prescott's appeal and judicial review set down for 14 August 2018 because the appeal was bona fide and not plainly hopeless, the prejudice to the creditor did not outweigh granting a halt, and the public/administrative considerations supported pausing adjudication; the halt was conditional on compliance with the appeal timetable and reserved leave to the creditor to apply to lift the halt if the debtor defaulted.
