ROBERT JOHN ERWOOD v THE OFFICIAL ASSIGNEE [2013] NZHC 3046
- Citation
- [2013] NZHC 3046
- Court
- High Court
Application to appoint an amicus was dismissed because the applicant is no longer bankrupt and must fund his own litigation; the applicant had won on the contested point below making the appeal problematic, and the applicant's history and mental health mean the court will not lightly appoint counsel as amicus or assume funding for such assistance.
