...informed consent to that agreement. It has to be for a real and proper reason that there is a fixed term, and the term must not be used as a device to avoid the unjustified dismissal provisions of the bill. Again, these are entirely reasonable protections for vulnerable workers. Why should individuals not be allowed to challenge a dismissal at the end of the term if there was no good reason for the term, and the effect is to override the personal grievance provisions?

...professional services. The difficulty Ms Yerman faces is not that her fees were necessarily unjustified; but that the 2010 Code required her to enter written agreements and attend to disclosure of fees. These 7 are conventional consumer protection provisions that typically apply to licensed professionals. The bulk of the work Ms Yerman performed was not directed to the services for which she had an agreement; they were directed to work where: [28.1] She failed to document t...

Abusive practices in relation to fees were certainly among the concerns the Act was intended to meet. Some confirmation licensed immigration advisers are responsible for...
...Committee‟s determination records the circumstances in which the client‟s funds were received by the Practitioner and paid into his office account. [56] The reason provided by the Practitioner for this was that Mr AT required his fees to be protected. As Mr AT was engaged in Fiji at the time, he was unable to advise who his instructing solicitor would be. [57] In paragraph 3.2 of the letter accompanying the application for review, the Practitioner suggests that a barrister‟s...
...[41] We therefore conclude that the Court does have jurisdiction to grant an injunction in these circumstances. Interim Injunction [42] It is settled law that an injunction is a discretionary remedy. An interlocutory injullction is grantcd to protect an applicant from injury to its legal or equitable rights 123 Whakatane MB 160 resuiting from delay between the filing of its claim and the trial that cannot be adequately compensated by an award of damages.
