MINISTRY OF BUSINESS INNOVATION AND EMPLOYMENT v BELL [2018] NZHC 1662

- Court
- High Court
The High Court held that the obligation in s 88 to file a record of work accrues when a licensed building practitioner completes or ceases their restricted building work and is independent of the owner’s notification obligations under s 87; therefore the District Court erred to hold s 88 conditional on s 87. The appeal was allowed, leave granted, and the remaining factual issue whether the work was restricted was remitted to the Board.
