New Zealand Legislation: Acts

11 Misconduct defined in relation to employees who are not practitioners

• In this Act, misconduct, in relation to a person who is not a practitioner but who is an employee of a practitioner or an incorporated firm,—

  • (a) means conduct of the person in the course of his or her employment by the practitioner or incorporated firm that would, if it were conduct of a practitioner, render the practitioner liable to have his or her name struck off the roll or to have his or her registration as a conveyancing practitioner cancelled; and

  • (b) includes conduct of the person which is unconnected with his or her employment by the practitioner or incorporated firm but which would justify a finding that the person is not of good character or is otherwise unsuited for employment by a practitioner or incorporated firm.
