   ...there were around 10 females rostered to work on each Team. From this time the numbers dropped to around six to eight full time females. That was because there were insufficient numbers of young women in the Community to maintain the previous resourcing levels.14 As previous counsel for the Gloriavale leadership acknowledged when putting a proposition to one of the plaintiffs’ witnesses: … there is no dispute at all that you or the young girls at Gloriavale had to work hard, v...

2. [2016] NZEmpC 20 Roy v Board of Trustees of Tamaki College [pdf, 522 KB]

   ...shortness of time, Mr Roy did respond to Mr Ngaro by letter dated 2 August 2010. His letter occupies eight A4 pages of 1.5-spaced print and did not seek any further clarification or indicate that he considered that he had insufficient time or resource to address these complaints. The tone of Mr Roy’s reply was professional and factual. He expressed his regret that two staff members in particular categorised his wish not to attend the powhiri for religious reasons, as being cult...

   ...decrease the likelihood that the power may be found to be unreasonable following use. Implications 69. This proposal is likely to be controversial due to the broad powers and limiting effect on people’s rights. 70. Police expects that given the resourcing required to collate the information to request the warrant and then to execute the warrant, that they will only be sought where compelling circumstances exist justifying the use of such a warrant. Further, the powers may not be...

   ...the statements be ruled inadmissible. Depending on the circumstances, the Court might conclude that it was consistent with equity and good conscience to allow such evidence to be given. That might, in part, be informed by the fact that the well-resourced employer was best placed, if it took issue with the employee’s version of events, to lead relevant evidence through its own witnesses. Ultimately the Court’s task is to do justice as a matter of equity and good conscience — an...

   ...taken as endorsement of any business or investment strategy, and there is some merit in requiring trustees to seek the approval of the beneficiaries in a general meeting to any business investment which requires the commitment of significant trust resources or the mortgaging of the corpus land. Terms of this kind have been included in ahu whenua trust orders and I would expect that a suitable term of this nature could be included in the detailed draft trust order. 104 Waikato Man...

   ...West Coast - Southland In summary, the following areas represent where fewest people have a met need. They provide an indication where the “gap” may be greatest, i.e. they have the highest unmet needs and/or partial unmet needs, and where resources/access levels may need to be reviewed: - West Auckland - Central North Island - West Coast Access to Different Types of Legal Services Just over four in ten people with problems (44%) said they have sought or would seek h...

8. National Standards Committee 1 v Haines [2022] NZLCDT 10 (8 April 2022) [pdf, 551 KB]

   ...proposition that he be paid out of costs awards was absurd, because mostly he was defending Mr M from claims brought by others and attempting to minimise costs orders against him. He also pointed out that he would not have advised Mr M to preserve his resources for cases with the most merit, if he were merely acting on a contingency basis. [67] In this regard we prefer the evidence of Mr Haines over that of Mr M. [68] It is clear that even after having such a close, and financially...

   ...definitive action in terms of the closure of the bridge. [139] I find that there has been ample time for the trustees to make progress in securing a solution. Their failure to do so does not demonstrate a prudent use of their time or of the trust resources expended in this matter to date. Te Kooti Forestry Block [140] The forestry rights on the block were leased out and trees harvested on a staged basis, following which the harvested areas were handed back to the trust. The ha...

    ...Court’s ability to engage these offenders in treatment longer is a hallmark feature of the Court. AOD dependency seldom exists in isolation from other serious problems that undermine rehabilitation, so treatment must integrate other services and resources. 5 Ministry of Justice (2014), p 5. 6 The Department of Corrections co-morbidity study found that 47% had a 12-month diagnosis of an AOD disorder (Indig et al 2017). 6 To...
