The Buckton plan realignment is just and equitable under ss 339-343; the proposed building sites must be allocated to K3A because joint owners have reasonable and evidenced expectations to enable potential dwelling sites; the unconsented Tahitahi house is excluded from valuation and the respondent cannot belatedly change valuation stance after close of evidence; the occupancy right gave no compensable loss once merged into legal title; K3B exceeds K3A by $21,000 so respondent must pay equalisation compensation of $10,500; partition costs to be shared equally.
