1. CAC 10054 v Hume [2013] NZREADT 91 [pdf, 252 KB]

   ...proved. [86] We are very conscious of the evidence of Mr Hocquard covered above that the defendant has worked for him as a licensee over the last two and a half years or so without any issues. That could indicate that revocation of the defendant’s licence might not be appropriate. There are testimonials of support for the defendant. On the other hand, the defendant’s threatening and aggressive conduct described above indicates that he is a thoroughly unsuitable character to deal...

   ...authority to support the Committee’s submission that he was obliged to disclose that to the Joshis.

   ...73(a). The proper approach is that the Tribunal must: [a] First consider whether the licensee’s conduct was disgraceful, then [b] Secondly, if such a finding is made, consider whether the found conduct affects the licensee’s fitness to hold a licence (see s 36(1)(c) of the Act and (for example) the Tribunal’s decision in Revill v Registrar).8 This enquiry is properly undertaken at the penalty stage. [90] We accept Mr Waalkens’ submission that Ms Prasad added to her diary e...

   ...effective than an experimental injection of a Spike Protein mRNA with Polyethylene Glycol and other toxic additives …; (f) on 16 July 2021, on the NZOFP Facebook page: This outcome was predicted by many, the government took many guns away from licenced hunters and collectors, despite knowing the problem was unlicenced owners. Their own advice said this and the Outdoors Party reminded them in Select Committee submissions. I am sure the current regime which promotes fear and uncertai...

   ...information about an identifiable individual. De-identified information is personal information that is somewhere on a spectrum between entirely anonymous (e.g. a statement of the current New Zealand population) to easily re-identifiable (e.g. a drivers licence with the last name blacked out). The Privacy Act definition of personal information has some difficulty precisely delineating this spectrum because within any de-identified data set will be some number of individuals that can e...

   ...[77] Of course, such sabotage could have the effect of incentivising the timely investigation of allegations of wrongdoing, but as noted by the Employment Relations Authority in Neil v New Zealand Nurses Organisation, the PDA does not give people licence to say whatever they like rather than waiting for a proper process to be conducted in accordance with the Act.24 [78] On the evidence before the Court, I consider the plaintiff’s argument that the 22 April 2024 email was a protect...

   ...lawyer, Ms CY. However, it seems that Ms RP developed what could be termed to be ‘suspicions’ about Ms CY, who was proceeding on the basis that Mrs WK had capacity to understand and sign documents relating to the purchase of the residential care licence. [70] It would seem therefore, that Ms RP assumed responsibility for ‘protecting’ (if that can be considered to be the correct description) Mrs WK from the actions of her family, assisted (as she saw it) by Ms CY.
