DAVIS v THE PLUMBERS, GASFITTERS AND DRAINLAYERS BOARD [2020] NZHC 782
- Citation
- [2020] NZHC 782
- Court
- High Court
Section 92(4) was not breached: the investigator was acting within investigatory function when obtaining the contested statement, the preliminary report and invitation to comment satisfied s92(4) and (5), the applicant had opportunity to respond and the final report considered those submissions; admissibility of the statement is a matter for the Board at any disciplinary hearing if the investigator seeks to rely on it; judicial review was premature and inappropriate to intervene at this stage, so the judicial review application was dismissed.
