    VINCENT v LAKES INTERNATIONAL GOLF MANAGEMENT LTD [2016] NZCA 382

    Citation
    [2016] NZCA 382
    Court
    Court of Appeal

    The Court held the definition of 'Golf Club' plainly required an entity incorporated as an incorporated society; that requirement was decisive and precluded enforcement of the membership and levy obligations by the corporate respondents, so the High Court judgment for the respondents was quashed and judgment entered for the appellant.
