Legislative changes supporting
housing initiatives
Effective from Waitangi Day, 6 February 2021
Why make this change?
Until such an application is made there is no guarantee as to how the Court would view the matter and the success of any such application would depend on its own facts.
Another point that the Court may consider in the context of experience is a nominee’s former or current role as a trustee and the extent to which that has been successful or otherwise. Where a trustee has been involved in difficult situations on other trusts, whether or not a satisfactory explanation has been provided may also be a necessary point to review.
