ROBERTS v HENDERSON [2016] NZHC 1363
- Citation
- [2016] NZHC 1363
- Court
- High Court
The High Court dismissed the appeal: s44 did not apply because the disposition to the husband did not defeat any claim or right Ms Roberts had under the Act (she had no claim against the settlor trustees) and the distribution was received in good faith; s9A(2) did not apply because the $1,800,000 crystallised as the husband's separate property on distribution and there was no subsequent increase in value attributable to the wife that would convert it to relationship property.
