    SINGH v FOLEY [2015] NZHC 3226

    Citation
    [2015] NZHC 3226
    Court
    High Court

    Given the 57 years since registration, the discharge of a related charging order in 1985 indicating the underlying debt was likely satisfied, the impracticality and prejudice of locating the respondent, and the Court's power under s 39 (with s 3 of the Repeal Act preserving jurisdiction), the Court exercised its discretion to discharge lien K68370 without imposing additional terms.
