The Manawatū Community Law Centre must pay a former staff member $6000 after it breached her privacy during an employment dispute. The Manawatū Community Law Centre has been ordered to pay compensation to a former employee for “interfering with her privacy”. The Human Rights Tribunal has ruled the centre rode roughshod over the privacy rights of receptionist and information officer Alisha Cook​ during an employment dispute. The centre argued it wasn't unreasonable for it to re-use the privacy waiver from May 2016. Cook told the tribunal the privacy breaches left her feeling vulnerable and that her personal information was sought to belittle her.
