    [2020] NZHC 1696
    Court
    High Court

    The slip rule (r 11.10) was inapt because the parties themselves had consented in the terms that produced the judgment; however justice required recall under r 11.9 because the joint naming of corporate entities using the trading style 'Perpetual Guardian' created a real risk of procedural and administrative problems for estate administration so the judgment was recalled and reissued with the correct named appointee effective from the original date.
