NEW ZEALAND MĀORI COUNCIL & ORS v FOULKES & ORS [2014] NZHC 2757

- Court
- High Court
Because the Māori Appointor (NZMC and FOMA) failed to reach unanimous agreement within the directed time and the appointor function had effectively become non‑functional, the Court properly exercised its power under the Trustee Act 1956 and its inherent jurisdiction to appoint two Māori trustees and four alternates best suited to administer the Crown Forestry Rental Trust; Mr Paul's appointment formally ended with this judgment unless reappointed by the Court.
