BASSETT v JONES [2023] NZHC 768

Citation

[2023] NZHC 768
Court

High Court

There is an arguable proprietary estoppel claim (serious question to be tried); on balance of convenience and overall justice the sale of the home should be postponed, but only subject to strict conditions ensuring prompt pursuit or resolution of the claimant's substantive claims and payment of outgoings; administrators’ indemnity will not be confirmed at this stage; administrators’ costs are to be met from the estate.

Court

High Court

The Court approved the proposed Part III scheme because it remedied the administrative hiatus caused by the dissolution of the appointing Society, met statutory prerequisites, had the Attorney-General's support, proposed transparent appointment procedures, and objections did not demonstrate a reason to refuse approval or to permit the Court to impose an alternative appointing body.
