1. Brebner & Anor v Collie & Anor [2013] NZWHT Auckland 23 [pdf, 113 KB]

   ...with cl 11.6.1 of NZS 3604: 1999. This requires joints between windows and cladding to be made weatherproof by a combination of various options that are set out in the Standard. [17] Mr Josephson argues that cl 11.6.1 of NZS 3604 is performance based rather than prescriptive. Therefore the absence of flashings and other issues noted in the report with respect to the windows does not identify a breach of cl 11.6.1 because these components are not mandatory, rather they are...

   ...paragraph [10] of Samuels. However counsel submits that some of the arguments advanced by the respondents at the hearing were at best tenuous. [17] In addition counsel says that if this Court is to stand aside from the principles in Samuels or form a too rigid or formulaic application of those principles and look at the respondents ground to rebut as a whole those grounds are not compelling or sufficient to avoid the presumption. [18] In summary, Mr Laurenson submits that the ap...

   ...charged had been undertaken, or needed to be undertaken, at the Practitioner’s level of seniority, but clearly the Assessor accepted that the level of the work required the attention of an experienced lawyer. [50] If a Standards Committee forms a view that a lawyer’s response to a complaint is not altogether honest, and given the professional seriousness of such a view, I would expect to find a solid basis for such a conclusion. In this case I do not see any sound basis for...

4. BU v DG LCRO 276 / 2011 (17 September 2013) [pdf, 102 KB]

   ...correspondence makes much of BU’s purported delays in providing a note of his fees, and that he had not even given an indication of what his fees might be. I note that, as counsel, BU was not obliged to provide an estimate of fees unless DN had requested one, and in any event BU would have provided a note of his fees to his instructing solicitor BZ, not directly to DN. [22] The correspondence does not support an allegation that BU delayed in providing a note of his fees. The c...

   ...extended coverage by the Corporation for ataxic cerebral palsy (but not mental injury). Ms Borer essentially concluded that no further 8 supervision would have been required and that her report of 28 August 2012 remained valid. [34] The requested adjournment was declined by me for the reasons listed at [44] therein. In essence, I said that the issue before me did not depend on the accurate diagnosis of his multiple conditions, but instead on his needs, behaviour and s...

   ...interests were, he maintained, potentially at odds with his own. [14] In response, Mr EP submitted that: (a) His firm was not conflicted in accepting instructions from the receivers. (b) [Law Firm] could not continue to act for him in the face of his request of them to cease acting for the receivers. (c) [Law Firm] conveyed that advice to Mr UW and advised that the only capacity in which they could agree to continue acting was to assist with facilitating service of documents....

    ...provisions were added to the PAUP to address Treaty of Waitangi Settlement agreements with Ngati Manuhiri, by carrying over these provisions from the Operative Rodney District Plan. These provisions appear to have been carried over in the original form, but do not address deficiencies in these provisions (drafted in the mid 1990s), the accumulated knowledge of their effectiveness as planning instruments, and the advance of the ecological science behind them. For instance, that the or...
