    OSBORNE AND OSBORNE v THE AUCKLAND COUNCIL COA CA650/2011

    Citation
    COA CA650/2011
    Court
    Court of Appeal

    For the purposes of s14(a) WHRSA 'built' means completed to the extent required by the relevant building consent, normally evidenced by passing the final inspection; the issue date of a CCC does not, as a general rule, determine WHRSA eligibility and s14(a) is not to be read as aligning with s393 Building Act long-stop provisions; therefore the Osbornes' claim was ineligible and the Sharko trustees' claim was eligible.

    • Eligibility under whrsa s14
    • Meaning of 'built'
    • Long-stop limitation s393 building act
    • Code compliance certificate (ccc)
