A New Zealand judge has denied a request to examine trust records by the brother of late liquor king Michael Erceg. The dispute centers on a lack of distributions made to the brother from two trust that were set up after the tragic death of Erceg in a aviation accident. Family members have been battling over the massive estate for ten years with a recent case involving Erceg’s mother recently concluding. The judge cited confidentiality for the reason the documents will remain sealed.
