- High Court
After considering seven years of dispute, failed reconciliation efforts, reports of the Public Trustee and the deep, entrenched distrust between the two factions, the Court concluded that reconciliation was unlikely and that, as a last resort, it is just and equitable to wind up the Trust Board and divide the trust assets; however formal liquidation was adjourned to allow compliance with Companies Act formalities and appointment consents, and interim orders for use and management were made.
