Mainzeal was a large construction company in New Zealand. It was a large domino that caused many small dominos to fall in slow succession.

Mainzeal was traded recklessly by its directors. Ultimately, the creditors were owed $110m and are unlikely to receive any distribution of any significance.

The liquidators pursed the directors at the High Court and were successful.

In part.
