Erceg v. Erceg [2017] NZSC 28 is a recent decision - judgment was given in March 2017 - containing a full discussion of the principles laid down in Schmidt v. Rosewood Trust Ltd [2003] 2 A.C. 709 about disclosure of trust information to beneficiaries. The court was persuaded to refuse disclosure, mainly because of the appellant’s conduct. It is a decision of of the highest court in New Zealand and anyone making or resisting an application for disclosure will find it useful.
