   ...may have been a private sale. Page 2 of 4 7. While I would regard ‘hobby’ breeders, who produce multiple litters of puppies over time and sell them, as being ‘in trade’ (contrary to [dog organisation’s] view), based on the information TS provided, I find that she does not fall into this category and therefore I regard the sale and purchase of [Puppy] as a private sale. That means that the provisions of the Fair Trading Act and the Consumer Guarantees Act do not app...

   ...also of the applicable collective agreement. Although Mr McIlraith for the company emphasised the Authority’s finding on this issue at paragraph 45 of its determination that a company manager “…subsequently sent an email to each applicant requesting (sic) them to submit an annual leave request.” I do not think this can be said surely to be a finding that Messrs Shakes and Helyar agreed to the day being treated as annual or other leave. The sending of those e- mails (that I...

   ...[2015] NZEmpC 123. confirms that the defendant’s legal costs in these proceedings amounted to $35,000, including disbursements of $500. The plaintiff submits that the application for costs is inadequately supported, that some of the costs claimed would not have related to Mr Herzog’s attendances (given the change in counsel that occurred prior to the hearing), requests that his financial circumstances (which are already before the Court) be taken into consideration and...
