   ...function of his left non- dominant arm. Dr Kahan concluded, notwithstanding Mr Arthur’s ongoing pain, that he was fit to undertake sedentary to light work that allowed flexibility of movement and did not involve heavy lifting. Mr Arthur’s response, to whether the position of Dispatch and Receiving Clerk was medically sustainable, was “yes, only if the pay was there”. This Court observes that no further medical report has been provided by Mr Arthur to counter the medical a...

   ...contributed to their loss, we find that it would be unjust to require the licensee to pay all or any part of the remedial cost, given his written warning about a lack of consent to the area. With respect to the purchasers, it is our finding that they are responsible for their own predicament. Accordingly, despite the Committee giving no sound reason for declining to refer compensation to the Tribunal, its decision was correct. [83] For the same reason, we will not award rectificatio...

   ...he had done wrong, we can only make a finding of misconduct if we assess the charge(s) to be made out. That is what our hearing was to determine. We emphasise the important distinction between what appears to have been an acceptance of moral responsibility for inappropriate conduct and the imposition of a legal sanction. [90] Looking at the broad picture, we confine our criticisms to a level lower than one that would attract a finding of personal misconduct under s 7(1)(b)(ii). O...

   ...the causes and circumstances of any sudden or unexplained death. It can seem strange that a coroner is involved when the reasons for a death may look obvious. However, coroners play an important role in New Zealand society. It’s a coroner’s responsibility to determine, as far as possible, the facts that led to a person’s death. At the end of their investigation, the coroner will issue their findings into the person’s death. A finding is a written decision of the coroner ab...

   ...he was over age 60. Professor Burgess advised: As referred to in my first report the reports of this complication were in children and young adults given large doses of the retinoid. I think it played some role, but I don't think it is responsible for his lumbar problems as there is loss of disc height, a finding much more suggestive of spondylosis (osteoarthritis). Similarly the cord lesion in the cervical spine is related to herniation of the disc, not a finding with DISH....

In this regard the Authority said: [88] A manager acting responsibly in that situation would have taken more care not to cause offence to an employee reporting to him or, on learning some offence about a personal matter had been caused, have taken steps to address and resolve it with that em...

   ...criminals to profit from and fund illegal activity. The proposed changes set out in the exposure draft Bill aim to strike a balance between combating crime, minimising costs and enabling New Zealand to meet its international obligations. We have a responsibility to ensure that our country is not a weak link in international attempts to counter money laundering and the financing of terrorism. We need to be mindful of how our AML/CFT laws work both for New Zealand and within the internat...
