    RUSSELL v COMMISSIONER OF INLAND REVENUE [2014] NZHC 2034

    Citation
    [2014] NZHC 2034
    Court
    High Court

    An interim stay preventing commencement of bankruptcy proceedings was necessary to preserve the applicant's non-bankrupt status and was granted in the exercise of the Court's discretion because the applicant's judicial review was not so hopeless as to foreclose preservation of that status, but given the public interest and delay the stay is limited in duration to the determination of the Commissioner's strike-out application.
