TIGER ALEXANDER BROWN v PERPETUAL TRUST LIMITED [2022] NZHC 1726

- Court
- High Court
Although Perpetual likely retains formal authority as administrator, given the pending contest over recall of letters of administration and grant of probate and the inclusion of the same properties in other related proceedings, there was a real risk of prejudice to Perpetual and other beneficiaries and of multiplicity/abuse of process if the properties were transferred now; Plaintiff's prejudice was not substantial because stay was temporary and the Court retained power to vest title if necessary; accordingly a temporary stay was justified and granted with costs to Perpetual.
