    SANDERS v PROJECT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT [2018] NZCA 18

    Citation
    [2018] NZCA 18
    Court
    Court of Appeal

    Court held offers did not constitute participatory securities because each unit owner's entitlement was limited to revenue from their specific unit; the guest allocation clause did not create an enforceable right to share earnings from other units; hence offers fell within s 5(1)(b) exemption as separate titles; alternatively, even if securities were found, appellant proved absence of causative negligence; High Court orders ordering repayment set aside and judgment entered for appellant.
