HARDING v INSTITUTION OF PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS NEW ZEALAND INCORPORATED [2014] NZHC 2251
- Citation
- [2014] NZAR 1252
- Court
- High Court
IPENZ had jurisdiction to hear complaints about Harding because he was a member at the time of the conduct and when the complaints were made; resignation before the hearing does not remove contractual submission to the disciplinary process for past conduct (though it may limit available sanctions), and the absence of an appeal against a preliminary jurisdictional ruling under the Regulations does not constitute a breach of natural justice.
