LATUMBO v PACIFIC AUTO CARRIER (NZ) LIMITED [2019] NZHC 1257

Citation

[2019] NZHC 1257
Court

High Court

Granting of leave to appeal out of time was justified because the delay resulted from counsel error for which the applicant could rely on advice, respondents suffered no prejudice and an arguable and important question of statutory interpretation of s157 Companies Act existed; therefore the interests of justice required extension of time and grant of leave.

Court

High Court

The appeal is dismissed because the Form 10 did not comply with the mandatory requirement in s159(2)(b) to include the full names and residential addresses of every person who was a director from the date of the notice; accepting the non‑compliant document would contravene the statutory requirement in s150 that a company must have at least one director and the Registrar therefore could not lawfully register it.
