1. [2025] NZEmpC 157 Allied Investments Ltd v Jones [pdf, 282 KB]

   ...Security throughout these proceedings that Mr Jones and Ms Hunt had behaved inappropriately by not advising Allied Security of their relationship. I do not accept that inference. The relationship was neither new nor clandestine. Allied Security was responsible for its due diligence in purchasing Recon; neither Mr Jones nor Ms Hunt had any role in that. It seems the due diligence did not include obtaining or inspecting Mr Jones’s employment agreement, or asking about potential...

   ...the claim out of Court”; 2. That her conduct of the Court case itself was “below an acceptable standard”. [6] In bringing the charges the Standards Committee acknowledged that no one failing alleged would necessarily invoke a disciplinary response.

   ...unwell. There was also little or no dispute that Mr F’s behaviour in the workplace, at least from April 2002, did create major difficulties for Sovereign as an employer and also for his co-workers. The issue is whether Sovereign is legally responsible for that illness and the termination of her employment. The law [7] The claim for constructive dismissal is based on the allegation that there was a breach of duty by Sovereign that caused Ms Crook to resign from her...

   ...who are affected by the behaviour can be invoked as indicative of a threat to public order. Hence those affected by the behaviour must be prepared to tolerate some degree of offence on account of the rights and freedoms being exercised by those responsible for the behaviour. It is only when the behaviour of those charged under s 4(1)(a) causes greater offence than those affected can be expected to tolerate that an offence under s 4(1)(a) will have been committed. [35] Likewise,...

   ...allegations than with the need to suspend her summarily on 23 June. [43] There was nothing to suggest a propensity for Ms Sefo to interfere in the company’s investigations once she was aware of them. The company simply did not know what her response would be to advice of these allegations against her. The suspension was not to be for a short period. Investigations were ongoing and the company was conscious of the need to hear Ms Sefo’s account of events and submissions as i...

   ...on the matter was inconclusive and unproven. [14] Also, the Committee found no evidence of Ms Yan applying undue pressure to the purchasers. It seemed to the Committee that Ms Yan had done no more than inform the purchasers of her concerns in response to questions asked by the purchasers as to whether there was anything wrong in them purchasing the property (through the complainant’s agency) previously seen by them with her. Re: Ms Beaton [15] The Committee noted that the compla...

10. Coxon v New Zealand Law Society [2010] NZLCDT 1 [pdf, 240 KB]

    ...working in relation to the provision of regulated services. Whether an employee works in relation to the provision of regulated services will be a question of fact and degree in each case, but work undertaken by an employee which carries with it responsibility to observe certain standards backed by the applicable regulatory controls, is likely to be within that scope. We consider that the nature of Mr Harder’s work meant that he would have assumed some professional obligations i...
