   ...accurate and succinct manner. He was forthright and direct when responding to questions. We are of the view he has conscientiously provided a true account of the events in question. [59] Mr Fehling is an intelligent and articulate individual who cares passionately about his deeply held convictions. It would appear that some mistake his passion and intensity for “anger” or intimidation. For example, Ms Sloane said in her evidence that she had felt that in the course of presenting...

   ...excess of $15,000. [31] The next relevant offer was made for Ms Brown by letter of 24 November 2014. [32] Before outlining its terms I observe that the Court of Appeal has made it clear that both parties should have the option of obtaining protection from costs by making offers to settle in some way in order to meet a claim. So, plaintiffs (here the cross- challenger) should also have protection where defendants decline reasonable settlement offers. 18 [33] The offer made fo...

The medical report was a matter which we considered carefully, but we have reached the conclusion that it does not outweigh the requirement for openness. [redacted].

   ...this judgment would have made it untenable for Ms Eriwata to have remained a trustee. My conclusion is that, had she not resigned, Ms Eriwata would have been removed as a trustee for cause. [45] In any event, the trust has now been subjected to a careful and intensive review and an independent audit. There have also been changes to the trustees. That the trustees have made some important improvements to their own internal processes is also acknowledged. As a result, I am satisfi...

Rather the financial and economic gains are more in the sense that they deliver plans much more quickly than traditional ‘two step’.
