    WALKER v FORBES [2017] NZHC 1025

    Citation
    [2017] NZHC 1025
    Court
    High Court

    The plaintiffs' pleadings were sufficiently particular: they alleged PWC should have expressed inability to form an opinion rather than a positive conclusion that the accounts were not true and fair; plaintiffs need not nominate specific secured creditors or fixed dates but may proceed on the basis that secured creditors would have acted within a reasonable time after qualified audit opinions; the likely date of liquidation is immaterial. Accordingly PWC's application for further particulars is dismissed.
