   ...and pupils of the school. As noted earlier, the current principal has deposed to the impact on the administration of the school as a whole of the continuing dispute between the applicant and the respondent.

   ...tender process. OCS was announced as the successful tenderer on 28 April 2010. [4] Remarkably, in a commercial sense, the evidence for OCS discloses that it was only after becoming the successful tenderer that OCS first considered what staffing resources it would need to meet the contract specifications it had entered into. The evidence establishes that up to 80 per cent of a cleaning contract price is the cost of labour. It is therefore remarkable that it quoted for the Massey...

Conclusions In summary, my judgment is: (a) Mr Ramsay was unjustifiably dismissed. (b) NZ Cards Limited is to pay Mr Ramsay $2,880 as reimbursement...
