WESTPAC NEW ZEALAND LTD v NEW DAWN HOLDINGS LTD [2022] NZHC 1118
- Citation
- [2022] NZHC 1118
- Court
- High Court
Summary judgment against NDHL and C K Y Chu refused because there is a real, arguable triable issue about the legal status of the loan funds while held in the solicitor's trust account and the scope of the solicitor's duties and agency during the interim period; summary judgment against the solicitor J S T Nguy on liability and on quantum was appropriate because he consented to liability, the quantum is certain, and allegations that Westpac contributed to its loss were not supported and legally unsustainable.
