Shipley was New Zealand’s first female prime minister holding the role from 1997 to 1999. In the judgement, the court ordered the four directors to contribute NZ$39.8 million plus interest to Mainzeal creditors. It stated Yan was most culpable and said he was responsible for the entire amount of compensation, with Shipley, Tilby and Gromm’s liabilities capped at NZ$6.6 million and interest each.
