Brookers Personal Grievances Precedents is a comprehensive collection of the documents and materials needed to conduct a personal grievance action.

The precedents, prescribed forms and checklists have been authored by one of New Zealand’s leading employment lawyers. The sequential organisation of the service allows for a consistent approach through the course of the grievance action.

Each stage of the process is introduced by an overview which describes the requirements and objectives, and provides handy links to appropriate legislative provisions and to appropriate documents.

This service will be valuable for anyone who is required to provide professional advice to individuals or an organisation about a personal grievance action, and to subsequently take or defend that action.
