- Citation
- [2022] NZHC 177
- Court
- High Court
Because the defendant filed no notice of opposition or supporting affidavit despite repeated opportunity and the Assignee adduced evidence demonstrating attempts to preserve family ownership, the Court, having regarded the s 342 factors, found no defence and granted summary judgment ordering sale of the two properties under s 339 to realise the bankrupt's interest for creditors; any Māori Land Court injunction could not affect the High Court proceedings.
