   ...remedy the problem that arose. 10. While I acknowledge and accept that in a practical sense the mis-drawn plan was not a “minor” issue in the eyes of CT and KT, I am satisfied on the evidence before me that rectification was a relatively minor matter. When viewed objectively, work such as the drawing of a plan, is inherently different from situations where, for example, a tradesperson cuts a hole in the wrong wall, or where a service pipe is damaged or destroyed; i.e., this is work...

   ...[16] One of FR’s main issues on review was that the Committee proceeded to determine his complaint without receiving and considering comments which he wished to make on LT’s report. In addition, he argued there had been breaches of natural justice in the following ways: 1. LT did not contact or meet with FR to discuss his concerns about the bills of costs; 2. The Standards Committee declined his request for an extension of time to comment on LT’s report; 3. FR did not re...

   ...be revised. 6. NF Ltd replied and said that as it was now almost a year later and NF Ltd could no longer confirm the condition of the wood, it was unable to revise the price. 7. There was no response to that, and NF Ltd then referred the matter to a debt collection agency. 8. The debt collection agency eventually made contact with CM and then advised NF Ltd to take the matter to the Disputes Tribunal as CM was disputing the matter. 9. NF Ltd is seeking $991.90 which is m...

   ...prior to settlement (by 4pm at the latest that same afternoon). 4. RCL essentially gave NQ the advice that the issues were not ones which would breach the requirement that the vendor give vacant possession on settlement, and proposed that the matters be dealt with via retention of $5000.00 by the vendor’s solicitor and a timeframe in which the vendor should have the matters attended to. 5. NQ claims $5130.00 being losses related to delay in moving into [Property 1] (and sought to...

   ...longer an offence. Allowing historical convictions for homosexual offences to appear on a person's criminal history can continue to stigmatise those affected. Additionally, people with such convictions may be required to disclose them for employment matters. The scheme provides an opportunity for people to be treated as if they had not been convicted, and to remove the stigma and prejudice that can arise from convictions for homosexual offences. What does 'expungement' mean? An eligible person'...

   ...aware it had issues, which needed the attention that turned out to be the case. 10) The applicant, accordingly, is entitled to compensation. However, the assessment of the compensation to be awarded should be reasonable, and proportionate. As a matter of common sense, it should take into account the fact that this was a 15 year old vehicle which had travelled 164,000 kilometres. With reference to the ‘substantial merits and justice of the matter,’ I have to also say that there is m...

8. FD v WJ Ltd & LD Ltd [2015] NZDT 1465 (10 December 2015) [pdf, 147 KB]

   ...was based on the Fair Trading Act 1986, whereas his present claim is based on the CGA. However, the issues raised are essentially the same or at least similar, and FD could have raised the CGA in the MVDT proceedings. It is undesirable for the same matter to be litigated more than once if the parties have had a fair opportunity to put their case. Therefore, even if I technically have jurisdiction to hear FD’s claim against LD, which I doubt, I find it appropriate to dismiss the claim on...
