I have concerns over the High Court appeal process and how it carried out too....
The investigators lawyer tried to prevent my right of appeal, the appeal which cost me $5000.00 just to lodge......where I was only allowed to talk about the window measurement and wasn't allowed to adduce any new evidence......evidence like one of the other authors of the NZ regs saying I could use another countries regs and the actual British Regs that proved what I had done would have been ok in the UK, with OVER 60 MILLION PEOPLE FITTING THEIR WATER HEATERS
40MM CLOSER THAN THE ONE THAT LOST ME MY BUSINESS....
Even though I went 95% innocent the Board went in my local paper and said they hade concerns over my work and responsibilities in signing work off.....the same Board who totally cocked up the cert system to the extent that it had to carry a disclaimer!!!
When we said the letter that told total untruths about my issuing illegal certs in Northland (a place I have never been to, but it is where a guy signed 560 blank certs, and a case involved in it is
STILL before the Board, with his son gifted a certifying license just like my old boss was)....well when we said this letter sent to all the sites of my additional charges was fabricated .... WE got told off......
You think you'll get fairness, think again......they will learn from this and they will polish their game.....
Think on it......they have a lawyer as a Registrar now, like they didn't have enough lawyers already....
Martin Sawyers, the new CO said in the NZ Plumbers mag....
"I believe in a disciplinary system that is fair, risk based and proportionate"So is it fair to have appointed as the investigator (even after I complained), the same Tony Hammond who gifted my boss his full certifying license with no apprenticeship served?
Was it fair to spend seven times as much chasing me than my old boss?
Was it fair to ignore the cert for the pizza oven, even when it is mentioned in the DOL complaint by number, saying it was never registered by my old boss with the Board.....with all available copies missing the leak test results....and a copy on the Boards electronic register?
Was it fair to withhold over 100 photos when they proved what I had said for two years?
Was it fair to change half of the charges just weeks out from he hearing?
Was it fair to have the investigators mate chair the hearing, then shut it down just as I was going to go 100% innocent?
Ignoring a legionnaires risk, is this risk based management?
Is it proportionate for my to loose everything for something I had tried to warn about for 6 years before it exploded?
Is it proportionate for Martin Sawyers opening comment to me when he first met me in person to say "you're only after money"?
Sorry martin, your public statement carries no water with me mate!!!
Do you trust this guy?....he knows full well what happened to me......and he goes and says that to your face.........
I think it is insulting to you all......
