   ...objections Mr [YB] might raise to the uplift request, legitimate or otherwise. He exercised his professional judgement as a lawyer. I am not convinced Mr [ZA] was wrong, but if he was, there is no rule that says lawyers must always be right: to err is human.

However, I do not consider that Mr [ZA]’s conduct was so unsupportable as to...

   ...profit; he is not allowed to put himself in a position where his interest and duty conflict. It does not appear to me that this rule is, as has been said, founded upon principles of morality. I regard it rather as based on the consideration that human nature being what it is, there is danger, in such circumstances, of the person holding a fiduciary position being swayed by interest rather than duty, and thus prejudicing those whom he was bound to protect. It has, therefore, been dee...

   ...restored through establishment of a no-take area. Opinion of Dr De Luca. Phil Ross Waahi Tapu allow for the restoration of ecological bottom-lines in the MNEMA and on-going protection of those bottom-lines.

   ...Taonga must be sought prior to the modification, damage or destruction of any archaeological site, whether the site is unrecorded or has been previously recorded.
