SINGH v HADFORD HOLDINGS LTD & ANOR [2015] NZHC 671

Citation

[2015] NZHC 671
Court

High Court

The injunction was refused because the applicant failed to demonstrate a seriously arguable enforceable long-term lease or sufficient certainty of terms to satisfy part performance; at best the arrangement was a periodic short-term tenancy terminable on 20 working days' notice, and on balance of convenience (including inability of applicant to provide credible undertaking as to damages and respondents' ability to meet damages) the interim relief was not justified.

RADICH v KEARNEY [2013] NZHC 3304

Citation

[2013] NZHC 3304
Court

High Court

The alleged oral repurchase agreement was too vague and not in writing to create an interest in land; any short term lease under the PLA 2007 was validly terminated because written notice was given and more than 20 working days have passed; consequently the defendants have no legal basis to remain and the plaintiff is entitled to summary judgment for vacant possession and costs.
