Yet another Victory for MWP against Mr T. I. Sinclair

MWP is pleased to announce a judgment by the New Zealand High Court of Justice at [2016] NZHC 3050, relating to the recognition and enforcement in New Zealand of the more than US$3m, judgment debts owed by Mr Sinclair to MWP, as a result of judgments MWP also obtained against him in the Bahamian Supreme Court, Bahamian Court of Appeal and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.

By this new judgment and order of 14 December 2016, Mallon J confirmed MWP’s right to interest, approved MWP’s Memorial and authorised MWP to execute and enforce its unpaid judgment debts as against Mr Sinclair’s assets in New Zealand, including a NZ$4m house in Wellington, currently operated as a Bed & Breakfast business.
