The High Court has ruled that a 75 year old Napier widow, Joyce Breeze, be paid NZ$250,000 in damages and costs by her financial advice firm VPFS Financial Planner Ltd after she was advised to put money into apartment investments set up by Mark Bryers’ Blue Chip.
However, VPFS director Venn Plummer has said it cannot pay because it does not have any money and his professional indemnity insurance was withdrawn days before his court case, meaning he did not have any money to employ lawyers and could not defend the case. He told interest.co.nz he believed he had a strong defence and his firm had done nothing wrong, adding that the Justice system did not work when companies could not afford legal aid.
The NZHerald and the DominionPost have more details on the case here, which some said could provide a benchmark for other investors who have lost money in Blue Chip or in finance companies.
Mrs Breeze won the award after VPFS chose not to defend a claim in the High Court at Napier this month of negligence relating to advice given to her. She mortgaged her home in 2007 and put the money into a planned Blue Chip property development. At the time she was 75.
Lawyer Neil Thinn, who acted for Mrs Breeze, said the case did not set a precedent as it was not defended and the ruling was specific to Mrs Breeze’s case, but it should encourage others who invested in Blue Chip, which collapsed last year owing $84 million to 3000 investors.
“All Blue Chip clients should look at issues of negligence and breach of fiduciary duty in terms of the relationship between the client and their financial adviser and the lawyer,” he said.
Institute of Financial Advisers president Lyn McMorran said the case was likely to spark claims from those who lost money in Blue Chip and other failed companies. “I think a lot of advisers probably are worried.”
