Poor Brian Lawrence's position as NZV8 Category Manager and Marketing Manger was terminated even though he was owed a considerable amount. MSNZ have ignored the contract with Brian because it was prepared (and apparently agreed) but not signed - seems a bit shoddy and possibly not supported by legal precedent. He had been requested to return his Toyota supplied car.
Looks like this is the end of TMC/MPL - if only MSNZ had listened to the concerns of member clubs over the last few years they would not be in this position that is going to reflect poorly on the sport and no doubt cost member clubs and competitors in the pocket.

What does this all mean for our NZV8s.
Also with regards to Brian Lawrence it makes no difference if he has a signed contract or not. The fact he has been paid is intent and that is all that is needed for him to go to the employment tribunal and more then likely walk away with a tidy sum of money. What is concerning that it is against the law to have someone working for you on a full time basis without an employment contract.
