The Ombudsman office has ruled that the NZTA have mishandled my case from FEB 17 to JULY 17 and this has cost me my livelihood,
Taranaki
In Feb 17 I spoke out from a driver trainer point of view against NZTA and they then proceeded to hold up my work applications, they have delayed them so far for 10 months so I have not been able to work as a driver trainer.
Once the Ombudsman's office got involved he forced them to proceed but has ruled in my favour that NZTA has mishandled my case for months.
I put in a claim to NZTA for loss of earnings, loss of business, loss of reputation etc which they have refused as it is not in a "formal" claim. They have not said what form that takes,
My lawyers tell me that I will have to take it to the high court before the NZTA even though they have been found to be a fault will make any moves to deal with a claim. They are forcing me to hire Barristers etc to take this to the High Court at a projected cost of $50 to 60 thousand dollars. They are using their position to bully me into giving up, while the have unlimited use of the public purse to drive a person out of employment.
My only alternative is to sell my house to fight this , that is an intolerable position to be put in by the powers that be when they have been found at fault, by the highest authority that a private citizen can go to, the Ombudsman.
I am involved in this because it directly affects my livelihood. I have been the victim of having my applications mishandled, eventually NZTA admitted losing the application, I have had my claim refused as it does not take a format of a HIGH COURT application which is a deliberate act to delay, and force me to give up the claim. This is a NZ public authority bullying a private citizen for calling them out on their errors and staff mistakes.
Funds will be used to help fund solicitors and barristers to get some justice for a simple working guy.
The NZTA have been told they are at fault, and yet they have made no efforts to right their wrongs, Even if they paid my claim tomorrow there is no business to pick up on after 10 months it has evaporated as clients had to find new providers etc. Their delays have also cost me various registrations with different ITO's that I am required to belong to to carryout my former duties.
