    CHEW v LAU [2019] NZHC 2290

    Citation
    [2019] NZHC 2290
    Court
    High Court

    The court removed the caveat by Tien Pick Ing because the supporting documents were more likely than not signed by Mr Lau without the registered owner's authority and did not create a charge on the land; the notice lodged by Ee Kuoh Lau was removed because any claim vested in the Official Assignee on his adjudication and no claim was being pursued; and the charging order in favour of Moncrieff Pastoral Ltd was removed because it had lapsed by operation of law and the company had been struck off, thus authorising removal under s142 LTA.
