Ep 15 N8 27th Jan 2023 - Further Strike out, Old Laws, Legal hook, Health and Disability Commissioner Act 1994, Grants of forfeiture

Strike Out - An further detailed explanation from Liz

Old laws - Govt cannot do away with these - Liz explains why

Liz explains the legal mechanisms, or lack there of, in place for situations such as midwives losing their jobs for social media posts

There has to be a legal mechanism or "hook" for there to be an case for the courts

Health and Disability Commissioner Act 1994
Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003

Did a member of the public complain using this? Nope. A DHB or any other employer has to use the correct legal mechanism or hook for a case to be valid. Loads of cases could be reheard.

1688 - Grants of forfeiture - What is this? Liz explains
