   ...so, what is the remedy and can the filing fee be recovered? What were the terms of the contract and was the contract frustrated? 4. There was no dispute that the terms of the contract agreed were set out in the client confirmation booking form of 14 January 2019.

   ...infiltration incident, where he conceded that he may have missed a scheduled spray. 5. To support his claim that the insect infiltrations were caused by poor workmanship in the installation of the unit, KW provided evidence from B Ltd in the form of an email that states in part ‘The entry point of the sensor beam wire which came in through the back of the control box was not sealed.

7. NC v KU [2023] NZDT 425 (4 September 2023) [pdf, 186 KB]

   ...car the car works fine? 5. I find that KU did not make a misrepresentation when she meet with NC and clarified that the cars works fine, and that money would need to be spent on the car to get it road legal. I make this finding on the following information: a. KU stated she informed NC that the car worked, and that money would need to be spent to get it road legal. She said NC kept making low offers to buy the car and when doing so he would say that he didn’t know if there was any...

She gave examples of UM taking her for coffee and making several contacts with her about accepting the quote. These examples given by DI are acceptable forms of soliciting for business. They do not reach the level of ‘duress’. Duress is the imposition of unacceptable pressure by threats that force a person to enter a contract. Duress has two fundamental elements: first, there must be the exe...

10. Compensation Guidelines for Wrongful Conviction and Imprisonment - Including Home Detention and Military Detention [pdf, 288 KB]

    ...extended to military detention, when imposed by the Court Martial. 8. I also propose that extension of the scheme should be backdated to 2007 for home detention (when that sentence was introduced) and to 2009 for military detention (when significant reforms to the military justice system came into force). 9. Including home detention and military detention is likely to result in a very small number of additional, successful claims – about 1 successful claim every 2-3 years for futur...
