HALL v ROBINSON AND JOHNSEN [2013] NZHC 2476

- Court
- High Court
Except for the initial $52,000 which was a personal advance to Robinson, the subsequent advances were made to the company; the 13 August 2008 acknowledgment did not create a new cause of action against Mrs Johnsen because there was no consideration and acknowledgments cannot themselves found substantive contractual rights, and estoppel by representation cannot be used to create a cause of action; issue estoppel did not apply to bind the court to the earlier interlocutory minute given the procedural context.
