1. Minhinnick v The Crown - Maioro Lands (1994) 18 Waikato Maniapoto Appellate MB 220 (18 APWM 220) [pdf, 3.8 MB]

   ...claim part of Ngati Te Ata? It appears to us that Ngati Karewa Ngati Tahinga are an established hapu with marae all based south of the Waikato River. The fact that some of that hapu may be settled within the domain of Ngati Te Ata and under the protection of Ngati Te Ata does not give the hapu of Ngati Karewa and Ngati Tahinga rights to claim land within Ngati Te Ata's rohe. Compensation Court records of the 1860s show that Ngati Tahinga was party to various claims south of t...

   ...not contain specific financial details. I accordingly direct that no financial information in this proceeding is to be disclosed, beyond the parties and their advisers (and then only for this appeal). It is necessary to make these directions to protect the process of competition in the market for the product and its competitors. [2] The product has a unique formula and brand identity.

   ...measured in the work environment was too low to be associated with injury. Unfortunately, this relates only to a general statistical measure, and takes no account of individual’s sensitivities. It is notable in the work environment that there was no protective clothing, and masks to provide respiratory filters. Therefore, and whatever the air concentration showed, there is no specific measure of personal exposure. While it is second-hand information, the information is neverthel...

   ...trustee. The documents were sent to me in early January but unfortunately I have been on an extended period of leave, and I apologise to the parties for the resulting delay in the issue of this direction. 4. I have considered all the material carefully. I remain of the view that I should make the appointment and the required order appointing Ms Reiri as a responsible trustee of the Hurunuiorangi X Trust will be issued with this direction. 5. It is clear to me that Ms Reir...

   ...of a strike notice must be done with reference to established case law, which she said prescribed that the strike notice must be clear, derived from Secretary for Justice v New Zealand Public Service Inc. In that case the Court referred to the protection of the public interest, as far as reasonably possible, while recognising that strike action is a legitimate industrial strategy. The Court commented that the right to strike must be subject to reasonable limits prescribed by law.9...

   ...to suggest that any or all aspects of that person's private life must be subject to regulatory scrutiny is something of an entirely different order. It is apparent from this quote that it is necessary for regulatory authorities to consider carefully what aspects of private conduct ought to be submitted to disciplinary bodies for scrutiny. A power imbalance? [13] Before describing each disputed incident or aspect of the incident, we address the question of whether there was a...

   ...the proposed changes will, if passed, fall to be implemented by Youth Court judges, in their discretion, or will be subject to Bill of Rights Act scrutiny if, and when, operationalised.

    ...fair and reasonable employer would have done in all the circumstances. Mr Radich and Miss Buckett agreed that this refers to a fair and reasonable employer in the position of the plaintiff. This approach is similar to the way the standard of care is assessed in the common law of negligence which acknowledges the reasonable skill and knowledge of a person in the position of the defendant. It is not an unattainable standard that guarantees against all harm in all circumstances.3...
