SLADE v SLADE [2016] NZHC 133

- [2016] NZHC 133
- Court
- High Court
Freezing orders were set aside because the plaintiffs failed to establish a good arguable case: the proceeds were held by family trusts (not the parties personally), there was no evidence the trusts held the funds on behalf of Mrs Slade or that the trusts were being used to defeat creditors, and the main substantive claim under the Property (Relationships) Act falls outside the High Court's originating jurisdiction; consequently the proceeding was transferred to the District Court under s46(2).
