- Court
- High Court
Because the respondent is medically incapacitated and cannot execute documents or meaningfully participate, and because the trustees validly appointed a replacement trustee under the trust deed, the Court had jurisdiction under s 52(1)(b)(i) Trustee Act 1956 to vest the Paeroa property in the named trustees; accordingly leave to proceed by originating application was granted and service dispensed with.
