- High Court
The contemporaneous documentary communications and chronology demonstrate no enforceable agreement to lease was made and there was no part performance sufficient to override s24; Colliers' correspondence expressly stated no agreement existed absent LINZ delegate approval; therefore the defendant has no defence and LINZ is entitled to possession; buildings vested in LINZ under the Mills lease clause 9.3.
