Citation

[2023] NZCA 235
Court

Court of Appeal

By consent the Court granted a stay of the Māori Land Court injunction dated 20 April 2018 requiring the appellant to vacate the Rohutu Trust land pending determination of the appeal because the parties agreed a stay was appropriate and the balance of convenience favoured preserving the status quo until the appeal was resolved.

ARONUI KO HUARAU TRUST BOARD v G H HARRIS [2015] NZHC 2911

Citation

[2015] NZHC 2911
Court

High Court

Defendant had no lawful basis to remain in occupation after the registered proprietor and board terminated her permissive occupation; because the trust property is held by the incorporated board and any licence was revocable, and because the defendant ceased to represent an occupier with authority when the prior occupier (her mother) vacated, there was no real defence and summary judgment for possession was appropriate.
