Summary
Civil Appeal
Result
A Leave to appeal is granted in part (Wu v Liu [2025] NZCA 560).
B The approved questions are:
(a) whether the Court of Appeal erred in determining that a July 2018 deed found to be entered into by the parties as a result of unlawful threats made by the applicant against the respondent was illegal and void, rather than voidable on the basis that it was entered into under duress; and
(b) whether the Court of Appeal erred in failing to determine that, had the deed’s validity properly been assessed on the basis that it was voidable for duress and not void for illegality, the deed was affirmed by the respondent, as the High Court had found.
C The application for leave to appeal is otherwise dismissed.
