   ...regarding the retention of the funds. [30] There was reference to the licensee having made an early guilty plea and having acted throughout in a thoroughly contrite manner. [31] Mr Argyle particularly emphasised that any period of suspension of licence would not only affect the licensee defendant company and its managing director, but would also affect all the 11 real estate agents employed by it plus other staff. It was put: “If the defendant company is forced to suspend its oper...

   ...street. That the sale would result in a loss of developmental potential for the owners of another property in the street as a reduction in the width of the street would increase the front yard requirement for that property. That an encroachment licence rather than a sale would satisfy car-parking requirements. That a sale could restrict Council’s options to construct the street to a better standard in the future.

   ...being engaged in the delivery of professional services, to a degree that is unusual in the regulation of professional service delivery. [30] It was foreseeable that some people who had formerly provided immigration services, and failed to gain a licence, would seek to have a licensed person “rubber stamp” their continuing activity in the industry. Unfortunately, this Tribunal’s work demonstrates that this was a well-founded apprehension, and an area where enforcement action has bee...

The interest in the estate was a significant one and was expected to yield Ms G some $500,000 to $600,000. [14] Prior to the EPA becoming operative, Mr M’s evidence is that he and Ms G had had con...

    ...each owner was at law entitled to the use of the whole land, that is, there were no separate areas. However, notwithstanding the position at law, owners invariably agreed on the allocation and use of land without resort to legal tools such as licences, leases or orders of the Court.
