   ...standard is the balance of probabilities, or what is more likely than not. [9] I note firstly that at the time of this incident Mr MS does not appear to have been working in a security role, although he was wearing his COA. Without Mr MS’s response contradicting the allegations of the interaction, I accept the complainant’s submissions. [10] I do take into account however that there is no supporting evidence such as correspondence from Mr MS’s employer, the original person h...

   ...$1,912. [8] While Mr Maheno is entitled to costs, I am not persuaded that an uplift is justified in the circumstances. There is no clear connection between the alleged conduct of Carrington and the costs incurred by Mr Maheno that would make it responsible through that conduct for an uplift of costs. [9] Accordingly, I am satisfied that the amount of $8,126 should be awarded in accordance with category 2B of the Guideline Scale. Outcome [10] Carrington is to pay M...

   ...any useful information about what began the landslide. In his affidavit evidence, Mr Nicholls distanced himself from his actions and did not explain the circumstances around his defalcations. [5] Unanimously, we find there is no appropriate response short of strike-off. Even if Mr Nicholls had not got five previous findings of unsatisfactory conduct, the amount of his defalcation (over $700,000), the repeated breaches of his fiduciary duties, the duration (several years) of his...

However, I accept Mr Saufoi’s actions were out of character, he has taken full responsibility for his actions, and all reasonable steps to ensure he does not offend in a similar way again. I conclude that Mr Saufoi’s convictions do not establish that he is no longer suitable to be a certificate holder and therefore wai...
