   ...because of: a refusal; lack of contact; because the potential respondent was away during fieldwork; or because there was an insurmountable language barrier (it is very difficult to overcome the latter two outcomes but theoretically, given infinite resources, both situations could be converted into interviews). Including all those outcomes in the denominator is part of a conservative approach. Refusal is the most common outcome and is almost always an outright refusal without much int...

   ...there were around 10 females rostered to work on each Team. From this time the numbers dropped to around six to eight full time females. That was because there were insufficient numbers of young women in the Community to maintain the previous resourcing levels.14 As previous counsel for the Gloriavale leadership acknowledged when putting a proposition to one of the plaintiffs’ witnesses: … there is no dispute at all that you or the young girls at Gloriavale had to work hard, v...

   ...shortness of time, Mr Roy did respond to Mr Ngaro by letter dated 2 August 2010. His letter occupies eight A4 pages of 1.5-spaced print and did not seek any further clarification or indicate that he considered that he had insufficient time or resource to address these complaints.

He expressed his regret that two staff members in particular categorised his wish not to attend the powhiri for religious reasons, as being cult...

Further, the powers may not be...

   ...the statements be ruled inadmissible. Depending on the circumstances, the Court might conclude that it was consistent with equity and good conscience to allow such evidence to be given. That might, in part, be informed by the fact that the well-resourced employer was best placed, if it took issue with the employee’s version of events, to lead relevant evidence through its own witnesses. Ultimately the Court’s task is to do justice as a matter of equity and good conscience — an...

   ...taken as endorsement of any business or investment strategy, and there is some merit in requiring trustees to seek the approval of the beneficiaries in a general meeting to any business investment which requires the commitment of significant trust resources or the mortgaging of the corpus land. Terms of this kind have been included in ahu whenua trust orders and I would expect that a suitable term of this nature could be included in the detailed draft trust order. 104 Waikato Man...

    ...proposition that he be paid out of costs awards was absurd, because mostly he was defending Mr M from claims brought by others and attempting to minimise costs orders against him. He also pointed out that he would not have advised Mr M to preserve his resources for cases with the most merit, if he were merely acting on a contingency basis. [67] In this regard we prefer the evidence of Mr Haines over that of Mr M. [68] It is clear that even after having such a close, and financially...
