all the assets of our family's combined can't stack up to a tiny faction of the financial backing of the firm that screwed us. That firm was at the time a quasi-mega firm comprising 20 or more partners and a raft of expandable lawyers and support staff. Rope them in and have our day in court would be fighting an up-hill battle if not as futile as pushing sheets of water uphill with a darn fork, and though we had every intention of suing the sequin off their haughty derriere we knew at the time we would not stand the slightest chance of success.作者: tina223 时间: 2014-4-20 19:28:33

A freezing order over assets of a woman who abandoned her Auckland house has been thawed after the Cornwall Park Trust board failed to convince a High Court judge to extend it.
The board, which owns 110 Greenlane and One Tree Hill properties, is chasing Auckland woman Yong Xin Chen for more than $300,000 in allegedly unpaid leasehold fees, renovation costs and expenses.
Chen bought 21 Maungakiekie Ave in 2005 on leasehold board land paying only $8300 a year. But that shot to $73,750 after her 21-year lease came up for renewal and the ground rent reflected the new valuation. Chen left the property in November 2011 and returned the keys for the house to the trust board.
The trust board's attempt to get more than $300,000 from Chen is scheduled to be heard in the High Court at Auckland next month and ahead of that trial, the trust board obtained freezing orders over an Orakei property owned by the defendant, which is in the process of being sold.
