A bid by Du Val receivers PwC to make founders Charlotte and Kenyon Clarke turn up for an interview is part of a criminal investigation and they have the right to remain silent, their lawyer has told the Court of Appeal.<\/p>\n

\n PwC\u2019s lawyer has countered the receivers had reasonable questions
\n to put to the pair, such as what a recently discovered substantial flow of deposits had been used for.\n <\/p>\n

The Clarkes are appealing a High Court order that they must present to PwC to be examined about their financial affairs.<\/p>\n

The Du Val property development and investment group collapsed in August 2024<\/a> owing an estimated $268 million.<\/p>\n

While 70 of its entities are in statutory management, a further six, plus the Clarkes themselves<\/a>, are in receivership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BusinessDesk 10 Nov, 2025 04:55 AMQuick Read Subscribe to listenAccess to Herald Premium articles require a Premium subscription.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":127445,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[95,6375,138,39200,13177,1349,21137,19363,305,5620,12898,58719,20053,5812,111,139,69,5202,37293,13120,9979,88450,165,8229,61,6859,664,3270],"class_list":["post-127444","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-and","tag-appeal","tag-business","tag-charlotte","tag-clarke","tag-court","tag-criminal","tag-founders","tag-have","tag-interview","tag-investigation","tag-kenyon","tag-lawyer","tag-make","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-part","tag-receivers","tag-remain","tag-right","tag-silent","tag-their","tag-they","tag-to","tag-told","tag-turn","tag-we"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127444","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=127444"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127444\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/127445"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=127444"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=127444"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=127444"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
