    FTG SECURITIES LIMITED v BANK OF NEW ZEALAND [2016] NZHC 2827

    Citation
    [2016] NZHC 2827
    Court
    High Court

    The interim injunction was refused because FTG failed to demonstrate a serious question to be tried on the validity of the s119 notice or on breach of the s176 or equitable duties, BNZ had a valid s119 notice and had taken reasonable steps to market the property and act in good faith, damages were an adequate remedy, and the balance of convenience strongly favored BNZ given FTG's delay and awareness of the sale.
