- High Court
On a rehearing the High Court concluded the Tribunal's imposition of a three month suspension was disproportionate given the misconduct was well‑intentioned, curable and capable of remediation; suspension would have disproportionate punitive effects (including likely ACC de‑accreditation) and rehabilitation and less restrictive conditions (as already imposed) were sufficient to protect the public; consequently the suspension and two specified conditions were set aside while other supervision and training conditions remained.
