   ...of some of the negative talk and festering concerns. [52] There is significant substance in those submissions. Documentation made available to the defendants' solicitor by WFA in November 2014, following an information request under the Privacy Act 1993, includes correspondence from Ms Berry going back to 5 November 2012 which is critical of the behaviour and conduct of the defendants.

   ...clients’ consent and he was asked to provide his clients’ authority for such disclosure. Mr Horan responded in an email to Mr W (verbatim):13 Now, Mr [W] if I ever need you to advise me that you may consider that I may have breached my client’s privacy in regards to my having included another professional Licensed Immigration Adviser or a lawyer or any other individual then I will let you know. However if you feel that your inference of my having done anything untoward has subs...

   ...not notified a parent of their pregnancy and their intention to seek an abortion. Due to the very low number of young women who may not inform their parents, it is unlikely that we will be able to release these statistics in order to protect the privacy of the young women involved. Statistics NZ cautioned, by way of email to the ASC: “We have concerns about data quality and confidentiality:  Under 16 year olds make up only about 1% of all abortions (around 100)… This means...

   ...claim. This involves a rule of procedure, the regulation of which is of course a matter for the Court. [48] There may be occasions where a party’s address cannot legitimately be disclosed in an intitulment, for instance where there are justified privacy reasons for such a course, and the Court approves the use of non-publication or other protective orders. [49] Where a practitioner acting for an overseas client in circumstances such as the present does not take such a step,...

[90] Pursuant to s 113 of the Act, the Tribunal draws the parties’ attention to s 116, setting out the right of appeal to the High Court. PUBLICATION [91] Having regard to the privacy of the parties, as well as the interests of the public in the transparency of the Tribunal, it is appropriate to order publication of this decision without naming the purchasers, the defendant or the agency.16 _______________...

   ...inadmissible and must be deleted from the plaintiff’s intended evidence. [63] Finally in relation to Ms Coy’s evidence, issue is taken at paragraph 181 with Ms Coy’s evidence about document disclosure in this case and her complaints to the Privacy Commissioner in the same connection. That is a matter that, even if strictly irrelevant to the personal grievances dealing with the ending of Ms Coy’s employment, may nevertheless relate to costs. Although perhaps dealt with un...

   ...request to uplift. He acted on it promptly by communicating with the complainants and their new lawyer. The new lawyer did not challenge Mr CS’ right to claim to a lien. They discussed the documents that could be made available pursuant to the Privacy Act 1993, and although Mr CS’ view was that it would have been pointless, he appeared willing enough to provide those. [67] In the circumstances, I disagree with the Committee’s view that Mr CS simply refused to hand over the...

   ...passwords to emails accounts to the employee, and she used that email account to send the forgeries to herself. That, for obvious reasons, would be a surprising thing to do. He endeavoured to explain his decision to compromise his and his wife’s privacy on the basis they did not use email very much at the time. It is a far from compelling explanation. The information technology experts neither eliminate nor confirm the employee was using the email accounts. [53] In relation to the appl...

In other locations, each instruction suite booking will be made through Ministry of Justice in 15 minute blocks, from 8.30am to 4.15pm Monday to Friday. The key requirement for these communications is privacy with both ends of the conversation being secure and private. As noted previously these communications are not recorded. Due to time restraints, it will be expected that parties keep to the timeslot allocated as there will be no...
