    COWAN v COWAN [2021] NZHC 1291

    Citation
    [2021] NZHC 1291
    Court
    High Court

    The caveat was removed because the Court of Appeal condition requiring an undertaking as to damages was not substantially complied with and no evidence established the undertaking's value; however the Court found the respondents have a reasonably arguable beneficial interest under the 2002 Agreement and, as a protective measure, ordered caveat removal subject to the condition that net sale proceeds be held on interest‑bearing deposit in a solicitor's trust account and made consent orders as to specific performance to lie in court pending final determination.
