Intercompany debt dispute

    VANCE v VEY GROUP LIMITED [2020] NZHC 2592

    Citation
    [2020] NZHC 2592
    Court
    High Court

    Because of entrenched mismanagement, loss of trust, and an intertwined disputed intercompany debt that materially affects any fair buy-out, the only proportionate and enforceable remedy was to order Vey Group Limited into liquidation with the existing receivers appointed as liquidators and the liquidation order to lie in court until a fixed date to allow negotiation and potential settlement; the receivers' investigation provided a sufficient basis to treat the Orana debt as a liability for the purposes of this remedy.
