COMMISSIONER OF POLICE v DRUMMOND [2018] NZHC 1730

- High Court
The Court declined to order sale of the high‑value boat because storage costs alone did not justify sale given its substantial value and potential third‑party interests; the Commissioner was granted leave to renew if proceedings remained unresolved by late 2019. The Court ordered sale of the lower‑value vehicle because its likely depreciation and storage costs relative to its value, combined with the lengthy delay before final determination, outweighed the respondent's sentimental interest.
