JURISICH v HARRIS [2016] NZHC 525

- Court
- High Court
The order nisi was discharged because undisputed post-hearing conduct by the order nisi administrator — namely making substantial distributions to beneficiaries the day before the s 61 hearing and paying himself an undeclared administrator fee — demonstrated that he should not continue even provisionally; accordingly the Court discharged the order nisi and appointed the Public Trust as temporary administrator under s 7 to preserve estate assets pending further proceedings.
