YOUNG v ROSS [2023] NZHC 212
- Citation
- [2023] NZHC 212
- Court
- High Court
The appeals were dismissed because the contractual rights asserted by Young vested in the Official Assignee on bankruptcy and were not available to him, the Court lacked jurisdiction to reopen final determinations of the Standards Committee and LCRO, the Contempt of Court Act did not apply retrospectively and does not provide the claimed remedies, and Progressive Accountants Ltd was not a designated beneficiary under s 12(1) CCLA; accordingly all causes of action had no prospect of success and were properly struck out.
