Jenny Shipley, Mainzeal directors seek to overturn damages - Lilith7 - 10-03-2022
Yet again, they don't want to pay the damages. They failed to overturn this last year but were successful in getting a fresh damages hearing, so they're having another go.

"Jack Hodder QC, representing Shipley, Gomm, and Tilby, told the Supreme Court on Monday that Mainzeal’s directors developed a strategy to save the company, and that they had acted rationally and without self-interest in doing so."
Really, 'without self interest?' So...they had no expectation of making money from this, then?
And I'm Marie of Romania...

this looks like they are just fighting to protect their pride and reputation, as they have insurance to cover any damages...

im unfamiliar with the saga (was expat) but it would seem to me
in this age of limited attention spans, shining more light on a fading memory does not lower its negative profile,
it just renews it

And I came across this just the other day:
"Once Governor General Cath Tizard had opened Parliament & the new members were sworn in, work was underway.
To our horror, the new Govt's first act was to rescind the Pay Equity Act, & even worse, the minister who led the debate in her capacity as Minister of Women's Affairs was Jenny Shipley. When I thought of the struggle that women had been engaged in since the turn of the century, & how strenuously Helen Clark had battled in Cabinet & in the House to have the legislation introduced & to steer it through, I was sickened. I didn't accept Jenny Shipley's contention that there were other & more effective ways of achieving pay equity.
We'd tried all those & they hadn't worked."

I was living in a very feminist flat. The others were all a few years younger than me. One rejoiced to me that at last we had our first female PM. I replied that I'd have been happy to wait longer for a better one.
