   ...that necessitate a secure separate title. Our family are prepared to invest our time, expertise and money in family land projects that we may not see come to fruition. I know that if a child helps you plant a tree, and that child is raised caring for that tree, then it is highly unlikely that they will cut it down indiscriminately.

   ...amend the Deed with another deed. [62] It is significant, however, that at the review hearing Mrs AD said her clear instructions to Mr ZU at the settlement meeting were that she wanted to settle there and then.

5. [2024] NZEmpC 234 Bowen v National Australia Bank [pdf, 295 KB]

   ...The alleged bias arises from the member having dealt with essentially the same issue in Ms Bowen’s claims against BNZ. There was no suggestion that the member should have disqualified herself for any other reason. [24] Mr O’Brien was careful to separate submissions about s 179(5) from any analysis of the substance of the challenge. He separated them in this way because the protests to the Court’s jurisdiction meant the issue was a confined one; about the ability to chal...

   ...recorded in writing that the vendors had told her that not all of the grassed area was part of the property or this could have formed part of the material made available to purchasers when they marketed the property. This would have been a further protection for Ms Wright. However, Ms Wright does seem to have been at pains in her email of 20th April to point out to the Woods that the aerial photograph would help with the boundary identification, i.e. attempting to provide information abo...
