93 years old and she still has to go to tribunal to get her Bible back? ffs, just give the old lady her book back.
boomer mentality. She probably wants it to whack the niece with it.
How the hell does a Bible end up in a tribunal? This is peak NZ small claims drama. 😂
nah, it's sentimental. But tribunal? Get a grip.
Bloody family heirlooms always cause drama. Should just toss it in the bay and be done with it.
facts. My nan would've just called the cousin a thieving magpie and moved on.

ima lawyer student, this is actually interesting — bailment vs gift. but also just give the Bible back lol
imagine being a law student and still stuck in this family squabble thread 😭
Reckon the niece sold it already. Classic.
should've spent the tribunal fees on a new Bible and a bottle of wine.
Bet the niece is spewing she wasted tribunal costs over a book she could've just returned.
stuffed, it's the principle of the thing!
Wonder what Jesus would say? Probably 'love thy neighbour' but also 'get stuffed' if she stole his Bible.
Honestly, who even reads the King James anymore? Just buy another one from the op shop.
heated debate over scripture. Unite the country why don't ya.
93yo vs niece... I'd pay to see that cross-examination. 'twas loaned, not gifted, ya cheeky mare!'
