DECISION APPROVED
♦ — Magistrate’s Criticism of Unemployment Board
The action of Mr. H. P. Lawry, S.M., a Christchurch, magistrate, in discharging a relief worker prosecuted by the Unemployment Board for restitution of a sum of money, and in criticising the board for interfering with an order of the court, meets the entire agreement of the Unemployment Board itself, according to a statement made yesterday. When previous reference -was'made to the case during April the board took steps immediately to ensure that there should be no repetition of such procedure. It is stated that the only cases today where, as a penalty for' misrepresentation, the board reduces a worker’s classification, are when such action is taken as an alternative to bringing the case before the court.
