IRRIGATION SERVICES (WAIRARAPA) LIMITED v ALEXANDER ELMON BENTON [2016] NZHC 682

- Court
- High Court
The court found the jurisdictional facts under s13 satisfied and that Mr Benton did not demonstrate sufficient just and equitable grounds under s37 to refuse adjudication; the asserted third party claim was speculative, delayed and unlikely to be resolved within the requested adjournment, the debtor lacked means to satisfy the judgment, and the public interest in allowing the Official Assignee to investigate supported making the adjudication order.
