   ...management issues have also been raised by counsel, which I touch on below. [3] The ordinary way for a witness to give evidence in a civil proceeding is orally in a courtroom in the presence of the Judge, the parties and the public.2 As the Court of Appeal has made clear, there is no presumption in favour of giving evidence in the ordinary way.3 [4] The Court may allow the use of AVL in civil proceedings, including for the appearance of a party and witnesses. Before doing so, it...

   ...on any party. Analysis [12] The Court has jurisdiction to grant a stay in circumstances such as those presented here.3 [13] I am satisfied that it is appropriate to grant a stay.

6. [2025] NZEmpC 65 Rural Practice Limited and Abdul-Jabbar v A Labour Inspector of the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment [pdf, 160 KB]

   ...2 But not the Labour Inspector in this case. The scope was agreed [11] As noted, the challenge is non-de novo.

[12] The issue for the Court was determined by the pleadings and agreed by the parties. I see no basis to change that. [13] While it is presently unclear how the alleged apprehension of bias is relevant to that issue, it is a mat...

Mr Gilbert – both before the Tribunal, and before this Court on appeal – had the affirmative burden. It was not enough for Mr Gilbert – through Mr Robinson – to show that the scales were even at the end of the hearing. He had to show that the Valuer-General was wrong. In this case, the parties ha...

   ...the incorrect notice of valuation. In knowledge of this error both parties have consented to the Tribunal finalising the objection. I take this to be a voluntary submission to jurisdiction agreeing to the incorrect notice for the purposes of this appeal only. I conclude there is nothing to prevent such mutual waiver where there is no injustice to any party to resolve a genuine valuation issue. Given that the parties have agreed on an appropriate valuation for the properties, I wi...
