    ...not met. [48] It is not appropriate to read this extended meaning into s 82. Indeed, it would be inconsistent with the scheme of this part of the Act to do so. In reaching this conclusion, I am guided very much by the decision of the Court of Appeal in Spotless Services (NZ) Ltd v Service and Food Workers Union Nga Ringa Tota Inc (No 2) 10 . In that case, the Chief Judge held that there is no lockout in terms of s 82 unless the demand made by the employer is lawful, that is one...

    ...Young, a professional man building a house who got appropriate workman to do the physical jobs was not a contractor of developer. To make him such would in the Robertson J’s opinion, “miss the import of the distinction which the Court of Appeal was drawing in Mt Albert Borough Council”.6 This conclusion was reached even though Mr Young had some experience as a developer.

This is further recognised in s 138(1)(f) of the Act which states that a Standards Committee may resolve to take no further action where there is an adequate right of appeal that the complainant could exercise. Where proceedings are b...
