   To Mash Trust : Tena koutou This the link to a decision of the Lawyers Disciplinary Tribunal involving lawyer Chris Tennet and the serial conman who runs his office, Brian Hunter . This decision refers to "the Trust" - we believe this to be reference to MASH Trust.  It refers to legal proceedings involving a vulnerable woman who was in a very vulnerable position.  We have previously contacted MASH trust about Hunter and Tennet and been assured that MASH trust has never and would never have anything to do with your organisation, but witnesses say otherwise, and confirm that clients of MASH Trust are still being referred to Tennet and Hunter for their particular brand of [UN]professional " pastoral care ".. The contents of this decision are extremely disturbing and we request a meeting with your board of administrators as soon as possible to discuss this please.  This decision appears to evidence fraud in regards to payments for Court reports, and ...

More than three years ago, on 31 October 2014, Housing New Zealand Corporation began trying to evict Te Ringa Mangu 'Dun' Mihaka from his home, serving him with a 90 day notice under section 51(1)(d) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986, on the basis of a false allegation from another tenant, fuelled by the prejudice and bias of NZ Police. On 2 December 2014 the Tenancy Tribunal issued an order terminating Mr Mihaka's tenancy and granting possession to Housing New Zealand Corporation from noon the following day, 3 December.  Mr Mihaka was approximately 73 years old at this time. Nearly 3 years later, on 2 November 2017, Sir David Carruthers issued a carefully worded Minute . following the hearing of an appeal of the decision of the Tenancy Tribunal.  Our response was to challenge the 'Minute' of Judge Walker which is referred to in Judge Carruthers's Minute, inter alia (among other related matters which we are challenging in the various Courts and Tribunals es...

It says that under the High Court Rules Mr Mihaka seeks to appeal a decision of the Human Rights Review Tribunal, Housing New Zealand [Corporation] have sought security for costs in relation to the appeal, Mr Mihaka and his Maori Agent opposed the application for security for costs on the grounds that Mr Mihaka is impecunious.

Weapons of law Submissions regarding appeal to High Court of decision of Human Rights Review Tribunal CIV-2017-485-736 1.     The appellant appealed the decision of the Human Rights Review Tribunal for good reasons.  The appellant is 76 years old and due to issues including his health and a new road route between his home in Paraparaumu and the Court in Poneke he was late to the last Court fixture although he made every effort to be present for the Court sitting. 2.    At that sitting the Human Rights Review Tribunal were apparently struck out or removed as respondents.  The appellant strongly opposes this and reasserts his appeal of the decision of the Human Rights Review Tribunal dated 4 April 2017. 3.    Page 47 of the transcript of the hearing of the Human Rights Review Tribunal shows that the hearing reconvened on that the 4th April following the recusal of Ken Shirley the previous day.  4.    Following...

Following a hearing in the Porirua District Court, Judge Sir David Carruthers has issued a Minute . We acknowledge the respect and fairness shown by Sir David during our hearing, and in granting it in the first place without requiring the over $200 "security for costs" which was previously requested by the Court, and in the careful and considered wording of his Minute. A few days prior to the hearing Housing New Zealand Corporation made an Offer of Settlement to Dun, offering to let him stay in his home if he withdraws all his Court actions against Housing New Zealand and promises not to take any further legal action against them. The problem is that Housing New Zealand Corporation have slandered and defamed Dun and continue to refuse to correct information that is clearly false, and they continue to act in bad faith towards him.  Dun wore a shirt featuring the Palestinian flag, and the words "Justice the seed, peace the flower."  Without truth, there can be no jus...

Behold - the decision of the Human Rights Review Tribunal. Curious in many ways.  Not least the assertion that the McKenzie Friend was required to turn up and speak on behalf of the Plaintiff and provide a 'proper' medical certificate.  How ridiculous.  And what an outrageous breach of natural justice, on top of the existing miscarriage of justice. Mr Mihaka is appealing this decision to the High Court.
