   ...taken from Butler at [17.20.3] and [17.20.12]: [17.20.3] Further, where matters of social policy are in issue courts have also been willing to accept that the state is not required to tackle all aspects of a problem at once: incremental measures are permitted. Distinctions required by international instruments are also likely to be upheld, though they are not beyond scrutiny. [Footnote citations omitted] [17.20.12] … the range of factual inequality within society is so great that one...

   ...can exercise its discretion over the quantum of fees to be refunded. The fees have been illegally and improperly obtained, and it is up to this Tribunal to in effect “draw a line in the sand” to the industry stating that such activities are not permitted and will not be condoned. 33. There cannot be a partial refund of something that has been wholly illegally obtained. 34. This is not a Court of equity, this is a Court of Disciplinary Tribunal enforcing the strict provisions of...

   ...berth holders, will be allowed to enter the restricted area at the cul-de-sac. I agree with Mr Mitchell that such vehicles will be able to enter the marina’s parking facility for drop-off and pick-up while non-berth holders will not even be permitted to enter the cul-de-sac for any drop-off or pick-up. 30. While I maintain the view that this level of drop-off and pick-up activities will occur within the marina’s parking facility I no longer have the view that this volume is in...

   ...uses the examples of s 122(1) of the District Courts Act 1947, s 51(1) of the Judicature Act 1908, although accepts that the regulation making power under s 237 of the Employment Relations Act does not refer to the word “procedure” when it permits regulations “… prescribing any act or thing necessary to supplement or render more effectual the provisions of this Act as to the conduct of proceedings before the Authority or the court.” [21] The defendants rely on the...

   ...provision governing that event, namely the provision of a resignation gratuity worth 50 per cent of the value of the full gratuity. This provision would have been meaningless if the words “retiring from the organisation” were construed to permit employees leaving their employment with the WDHB but continuing to work elsewhere.
