“Just a note to say thank you for the forum today. I think it was one of the best ADPN forums I have ever been to and the speakers were outstanding.”
Positive feedback following the Legal Forum!
Both speakers held the attention of the 50+ audience, delivering valuable information on legal issues. What could have been very dry topics were made interesting and relevant.
Dr. Huhana Hickey from the Disability Law Office opened the morning. Her topic was Disability Law with particular reference to the Personal Property & Rights Act. The notes from her power point presentation are available on request: huhana.hickey@adl.org.nz
Parvez Akbar, Senior Solicitor from the EMA then spoke on Employment Law. He discussed employment agreements and emphasised the need to establish everything in writing before a new employee commences work. He also covered Restructuring and Redundancies.
Huhana and Parvez answered questions from the floor and the variety of queries demonstrated the breadth of interest in the topics and complexities of the problems faced by providers.
