1. Shi v REAA (reserved decision) [2013] NZREADT 2 [pdf, 62 KB]

   ...at the motel and I deal with you on that basis.” [k] His Honour went on to note her lesser role in the kidnapping, her withdrawal from the scene, and that she was not involved in the detention. Judge Wilson also noted that the applicant was caring for a child. [28] Judge Wilson’s sentencing notes do not appear to have been before the Registrar when she made her decision. [29] The applicant wrote a further letter to the Tribunal which was included with her Application to R...

2. E38 Jon Styles - Noise - EIC - Council [pdf, 854 KB]

   ...7.10 At the time of writing the Report, approval from RFA (owners of the Maritime Museum) had only been provided in principle. We considered that the effects on the Maritime Museum will generate significant disruption to its activities, and very careful attention would be required to ensure the effects are managed as best they can be. As set out above, RFA has since provided the Applicant with unconditional approval of the Application, and therefore the effects on the Maritime Mus...

3. [2017] NZEmpC 102 Kaipara District Council v McKerchar [pdf, 176 KB]

   ...A JSC could only have taken place if both parties agreed to such a possibility. It is evident from the Court’s file that mutual consent for a JSC was not given. Nor is there any evidence of a Calderbank offer being advanced which may have protected the Council if the matter was indeed capable of settlement. [62] In the absence of detailed evidence as to how the mediation issue unfolded after 9 March 2016, I do not consider it appropriate to conclude that a costs adjustment sh...

   ...him, he would be irritated. [51] As well, time better spent elsewhere is then devoted to challenging the demand. [52] Equally, I accept that Mr MD quite reasonably believed that he could rely on the accuracy of his client. Mr S is obviously a careful and experienced businessman with emphasis on financial management. [53] I do not for one moment think that the February 2018 error was anything more than that: an oversight. [54] There is merit in the suggestion that when a default i...

5. Ohinemango Lands Trust v Waikawa Lands Trust - Waikawa-Pahaoa 1B & 1C 2C 1B (aggregated) (2019) 223 Waiariki 78 (223 WAR 78) [pdf, 343 KB]

   ...that remains the case, I do not consider that an order under s 18(1)(a) declaring any equitable interest that the successors of Mrs Ormsby might have in the joint tenancy, would offend the provisions of s 77 of the Act. The Court must of course be careful that any such determination does not seek to annul, quash, declare or hold that the 1992 order is invalid. [34] I now consider the law on strike out. This was summarised by this Court in Taueki v Horowhenua Sailing Club Ltd:9 [2...

6. L v EQC [2021] CEIT-2019-0036 [pdf, 298 KB]

   ...the WHT’s jurisdiction, and compiles the defects, relevant dates and likely liable parties. It provides the WHT member with key information to consider a strike out or removal application. In this Tribunal there is no such report. Therefore, care must be taken when seeking analogies between the jurisdictions. [30] Having reviewed the authorities, I conclude the following: (a) When removal of a party or parties has the effect of striking out a claim the key question is whether t...

   ...lower quadrant imaged in two orthogonal planes and marked for drainage. The distance from the skin to the parietal peritoneum is 1.3 cm and from the skin to the midpoint of the collection is 3 cm. A clear dressing was placed over the marking to protect it during transit to the ward. [28] On 24 January 2021, Mrs Moloney died from metastatic colorectal cancer. [29] On 9 February 2022, an advice of accidental death claim form ACC21 was submitted to the Corporation. This included a...

8. [2015] NZEmpC 114 TGP v TFE and SDI and TDI [pdf, 154 KB]

   ...application in this case, while needing consideration, is not necessarily conclusive. 8 The Court is still required to consider the wider public interest issues. For this reason judgment was reserved; the plaintiff’s position in the meantime protected by the extension of the interim order initially made by Chief Judge Colgan in his interlocutory judgment. The Authority’s determinations [9] Before considering the facts specifically relating to the plaintiff in this case th...

   ...of critical elements including (but not limited to) the adoption in accordance with tikanga at an early age; the acceptance of the whāngai child by the parents, siblings and natural children of the whāngai parent where applicable; the orthodox care and protection responsibilities of the parent to the whāngai over a number of years; and ideally some form of blood relationship. It is also understood that while not all hapū adhere to identical customs, there are some invariable aspe...

10. Fenwick - Whakapoungakau 24 Block (2013) 82 Waiariki MB 202 (82 WAR 202) [pdf, 137 KB]

    ...[12] Paragraph [146] and following in my principal decision read as follows: 3 [146] Section 227 of the Act enables trustees to make decisions and execute documents by majority. 4 Mrs Fenwick and Mr Eru could have availed themselves of that protection and declined to sign the TPA and related agreements and absented themselves from the trustees’ and owners’ meetings when this issue was discussed. That would have confirmed their distance from the decision making process. The...
