MURPHY v MAAKA [2015] NZHC 1009
- Citation
- [2015] NZHC 1009
- Court
- High Court
Because the plaintiff made sole financial contributions to the property after separation, lived there and was told by the defendant that he was exclusively entitled, equity imposes a constructive trust in his favour; the Court will appoint him sole trustee and vest the property in him under s 52 Trustee Act 1956.
