[101] Some social occasions will clearly fall within a lawyer’s “personal” life. But in this case, Mr Gardner-Hopkins has painted a picture of professional life where the culture of hard work and long hours meant the need for a work tea...

   ...instance, Mr G Bayley did accept that his cost quotation analysis was mistaken on some matters.

   ...the management system GEOS used to monitor students’ accounts. It was not an accounting package but, according to Mr Almazar’s evidence, it could produce a revenue report. It was apparently used by GEOS schools in Australia at the time. [101] Mr Page was not an accountant but he accepted Mr Almazar’s advice to use the Excel spreadsheets instead of the BECAS system. This became one of the grounds, paragraph 4.g, for his dismissal. It was alleged that he had failed to use th...

   ...[100] The reference to a partnership ought immediately to have triggered enquiry by Ms NL. Was this a business partnership? Was this a de facto partnership? What contributions were each making to the partnership (whatever its nature)? 22 [101] Ms NL describes Mr HM as merely being Ms Z’s agent, and she argues that this arrangement was no different from any other where an agent is involved. She gives the example of a real estate agent acting as a broker for either vendor o...
