Mall Finance V Slater
''Mall Finance & Investment Co Ltd v Slater'' 9762 NZLR 685, is a New Zealand case regarding whether a contract entered into to stop a party for filing criminal charge is legally enforceable or not. It is more often cited as Slater v Mall Finance. Background Gizelle Slater's de facto husband Gary Nausbaum was a director at Mall Finance. After he misappropriated $11,500 from Mall Finance, Slater entered into an agreement with the company to repay the stolen money, if the company agreed not to report the matter to the police. To secure the agreement, Slater had to give a mortgage over her house at 60 Penrose Street, Lower Hutt. Later, Slater had a change of heart (and perhaps a change of boyfriend) and applied to the High Court to set aside the mortgage because it was illegal at common law, being it was a contract entered into for the purpose of not to disclose a crime. The High Court set aside the mortgage, as section 7(3) of the Illegal Contracts Act prohibits the courts fro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Polymer Developments V Tilialo
''Polymer Developments Group Ltd v Tilialo'' 0023 NZLR 258 is a New Zealand case regarding the legality of contracts created to prevent a prosecution, which unlike the earlier similar precedents of Mall Finance v Slater 9762 NZLR 685 and Barsdell v Kerr 9792 NZLR 731, in this case however, although the contract was clearly illegal, relief was granted to the creditor. Background Ena Poloa worked for Polymer Developments. After an internal investigation, it was revealed that Mr Poloa had misappropriated $374,000 from the company, which he later blamed on his gambling addiction. Poloa's brother, Katuni Tilialo, concerned that his brother would be convicted and sent to prison, contacted Polymer, offering to repay the misappropriated monies, with the inference that should he do so, that they would not get the police involved. Through his lawyers, Polymer accepted his repayment arrangement on his 3rd draft, and on 20 November 2000, the parties signed a Deed of Acknowledgement with ...
