Notice of Application for Approval of a Scheme
Application Under the Charitable Trusts Act 1957
Notice is hereby given that the last surviving trustee of the RIDDET MEMORIAL TRUST ("the trust") has made an application under sections 32 and 33 of the Charitable Trusts Act 1957 to the High Court at Palmerston North for orders approving a scheme varying the mode of administering the trust, namely:
(a) to remove the obligation of the trustees to purchase paintings or to seek funds with which to make such purchases;
(b) to remove the requirement that three trustees
be appointed by the Massey University Alumni Association (now defunct); and
(c) to replace the last surviving trustee with Massey University as the sole trustee of the trust.
The intended consequence of the amendments is to recognise that the collection of art works is now complete and to transfer the trustee duties to Massey University.
The application is to be heard before the High Court
at Palmerston North on Thursday 9 September 2010 at 10.00am.
Any person desiring to oppose the scheme must, not less than seven clear days before the hearing date, give written notice of their intention to do so to:
(a) the Registrar of the High Court at Palmerston North;
(b) the applicant by their solicitor at the address below; and
(c) the Attorney-General, Crown Law Office, PO Box 2858, Wellington.
This notice is given by Morrison Kent, Solicitors, 105
