   ...appellant is on the Roll of barristers and solicitors in New Zealand. If he chooses to live in New Zealand, he is entitled to apply for a practising certificate.

   ...misconduct, Mr U was under considerable stress. His inability to afford counsel meant that he was personally litigating protracted Family Court proceedings. At the same time, we understand he had some part time employment and certainly had the primary care of his two children. These are difficult circumstances for any inexperienced lawyer to cope with, and it is clear from the nature of Mr U’s “venting” that he was not coping.

   ...disciplinary investigation, Linda Hudson, reported to Adrienne Transom, Area Manager. [10] In unchallenged evidence, Ms Transom told the Court that the role of support worker is a critical one for IDEA.
