Anyone using a website linked to Michael Guest offering cheap
separation agreements available for download should consult a
lawyer to ensure the documents stand up in court, the New
Zealand Law Society believes.
Michael Guest is a tall poppy who has been hung out to dry by
some jealous of his achievements as a lawyer and Dunedin city
councillor, Cr Bill Acklin says.
The Lawyers and
Conveyancers Disciplinary Tribunal has upheld the New Zealand
Law Society's decision not to issue a practising certificate
to Michael Guest.
A last-ditch bid to impose a "sinking lid" policy on
Dunedin's gaming machines was unsuccessful yesterday, with a
nine-to-five vote defeating the move.
A proposal that could require some property owners to collect
sheep droppings accumulating on their land has come as a
surprise to Cr Michael Guest, the chairman of the Dunedin
City Council working party considering the new rules.
Neither the New Zealand Law Society nor Michael
Guest is willing to say why he still has not been issued with
a practising certificate so he can resume work as a lawyer.
