- [2017] NZHC 145
- Court
- High Court
The application to set aside the statutory demand was dismissed (except for an impermissible $517.50 claim for costs) because Soil Research Ltd did not establish a bona fide substantial dispute under s 290(4)(a) nor clear and persuasive grounds for set-off/cross-claims under s 290(4)(b); Outdoors & Beyond provided managerial services and the invoices were payable; collection costs cannot be included in the statutory demand.
