   ...for the loss of her family’s personal documents, but not provided details of the cost of getting replacements. Decision [5] The grounds on which the complaint has been upheld amount to a contemptuous disregard for the privileges of holding a licence under the Act.

The OJ and the Khan complaints potentially reduced penalties in this complaint under the totality principle. [3] These considerations were all set out in the Khan and OJ complaints. The respective...

Inevitably, the Tribunal must consider whether Ms Tangilan...
