- Our business is under threat from a motorway and will be destroyed if the motorway design is approved. We have been denied any support with Legal costs from NZTA to explore our options. Do you have any advice?

- i own a small business which was in lockdown for over 7 weeks, due to the financial hardship of this closure i approached the landlord for an early termination of my commercial lease and made an offer, i am waiting for a reply. Over the lockdown i have only paid a small portion of the lease and outgoings, as per my lease agreement.I have tried to negotiate the lease and bills payment (fair proportion) with the landlord, their reply was to pay in full. I noticed 4 days before level 2 came about the landlord had placed the premises up “For lease” and put signage up and was advertising with an agent. To date i have had no written or verbal notice. Has the landlord broke the terms of the lease agreement, and is this legal.

- My company is in door to door sales. We decided kid 2019 that the business had no future and started winding down operations. Last week the Commerce Commission telephoned to inform that they want to investigate our business as they received ‘complaints’. This was news to us as we believe our compliance regime was robust. From what I have read with Comcom, they will have a mandate to go after certain industries, and they will go in with a fine tooth comb to look for historical mistakes and then throw the proverbial book, desk, chair and whiteboard at a company in order to ‘send message’. My fear is that we do not have the resources to fight them as our intention is to fulfil our contractual obligations to our customers, repay debts and close the company. This news is causing me significant mental stress as I am just fearing the worse, not having the money or assets to hire lawyers. Do you have anyone who has experience dealing with Comcom whom I can talk to. Right now all I see are dark clouds and I cannot afford that, with a sound family depending on me.
