   ...responsible security employee. [3] Mr Singh’s offending was serious. Mr Singh climbed through the victim’s window, demanded money, attempted to steal his phone, and assaulted the victim. This behaviour is not acceptable for a security worker whose job is to protect people and their property.

   ...and a judgment has issued, several more months will likely have passed. Experience suggests that as the passage of time grows the likelihood of successful reintegration fades and with it, the strength of the case for permanent reinstatement. Jobs are important and money is often a poor substitute. I see the 2018 amendment as reinforcing this point.11 In this regard the Act has both an educative and regulatory function, which the Court recognises when dealing with applications fo...

No adverse inference is to be drawn from this. Before doing so, she had worked in a variety of middle management roles in New Zealand, Romania, the United States of America and on...
