HR rep says she was told not to take minutes
MISSING minutes, alleged phone calls and job criteria were central arguments as the AO Hall unfair dismissal case entered its second day.
Four witnesses presented evidence throughout the day and were relentlessly quizzed on the same subjects.
Paralegal Tracey Leggett, pictured, was made redundant from the firm in September 2013 and has claimed the procedure followed was unfair.
AO Hall co-founder advocate Louise Hall was first to give evidence, and admitted the employment specialist law firm had no actual redundancy policy in place, but a code of practice laid out by the Commerce and Employment was scrupulously followed.
It was evidence from the firm's sole HR representative Nikki Travis which generated several questions, after she admitted during the crucial August partners' meeting being told not to record minutes during the vital discussion around who would be in the redundancy pool.
Advocate Ozanne quizzed her later as to whether it was standard practice for certain discussions not to be minuted, which she said it was.
