- Court of Appeal
The Court held cl 17.4 of the collective agreement conferred a contractual additional week of annual leave as a reward for long service and was intended to remain additional to the statutory minimum after 1 April 2007; the Employment Court erred by focusing on statutory purpose and by misapplying precedent (Tramways) instead of the line of authorities (Silver Fern Farms, NDU, Robinson), and the Court of Appeal had jurisdiction to correct that error.
