NICHOLAS v REGISTRAR-GENERAL OF LAND [2020] NZHC 645

Citation

[2020] NZHC 645
Court

High Court

The 'no survivorship' notation was removed because the trustees validly resolved to sell the Mepal property under the powers and procedures in the trust deed, the property is not Trust corpus and is general land so Māori Land Court oversight was not required, and the Registrar-General (LINZ) did not oppose removal of the notation on those bases.

Fabish and Ors [2017] NZHC 2850

Citation

[2017] NZHC 2850
Court

High Court

The Court held it was expedient to vest the Tariki Hall land in the newly appointed trustees under s52(1)(h) and to confer on them the power to sell the land under s64(1); the originating application without notice was appropriate because there was no opposing party and the application affected only the applicants.
