DOUGLAS v SUTTER LIMITED [2018] NZCA 367

Citation

[2018] NZCA 367
Court

Court of Appeal

Special leave was declined because no arguable question of law of general or public importance was established; the tenancy was periodic so s 7 did not apply; the evidence supported the Tribunal's finding that the s 51(1)(d) 90-day notice was valid and not retaliatory; and the applicant's concessions at the Tribunal precluded the challenges.

ENTWISTLE v WELLINGTON CITY COUNCIL [2014] NZHC 496

Citation

[2014] NZHC 496
Court

High Court

The fixed-term tenancy did not convert to a periodic tenancy because the Council gave effective notice of non-continuance and no contractual right of renewal or accepted extension existed; Judge Hastings did not err as the appeal raised no question of law capable of overturning the possession order and no denial of an effective appeal was established, so the appeal is dismissed.
