This sale entailed the selling of some of the company property in order to purchase his shares. The law saw this as financing the purchase of a company's own shares, which was illegal under section 62 of the Companies Act 1950.As a result, Herbert refused to pay Catley, on the basis that to do so would be illegal. Catley sought validation of the contract in the court. HeldValidation of the contract was ordered. Footnote: This case is often discussed with NZI Bank Ltd v Euro-National Corp Ltd [1992] 3 NZLR 528, where a similar transaction that also contravened section 62(1) was not validated References1. ^{{cite book |title=An introduction to the Law of Contract in New Zealand |edition=4th |last1=Chetwin |first1=Maree |last2=Graw |first2=Stephen |last3=Tiong |first3=Raymond |publisher=Thomson Brookers |ISBN=0-86472-555-8 |year=2006 |page={{page needed|date=January 2014}}}} {{NewZealand-case-law-stub}} 4 : New Zealand contract case law|1988 in New Zealand law|1988 in case law|Court of Appeal of New Zealand cases |
