 However, it is argued that the s. 17(2) framework for the remedy remains conceptually unsound and is unworkable with respect to situations involving chained holding of book-entry securities.In November 2015, the Supreme Court of New Zealand granted leave to appeal a ruling of the New Zealand Court of Appeal, in a case involving possessory interests in resource consents granted under the "Resource Management Act 1991", in which it held that relief against forfeiture was available in such circumstances but it declined to exercise its discretion to grant it in that case.In February 2016, it was announced that the appeal was being abandoned, and was therefore deemed to be dismissed.
