Summary: $l000 For Charity (Press, 19 May 1972)
On 19 May 1972, the Auckland Magistrate’s Court awarded Miss Patricia Bartlett $1,000 in damages, which she intends to donate to a charity of her choice. This decision came during her claim against Harry M. Miller Attractions, Ltd., in which she sought $3,000 for damages and costs. Her lawsuit was based on the assertion that her character, credit, and reputation had been injured due to her being implicated in public scandal, odium, and contempt during performances of the rock musical "Hair." Mr P. E. Jenkins, representing the defence, informed the presiding magistrate, Mr N. M. Izard, S.M., that the matter had been settled out of court. He acknowledged that the remarks concerning Miss Bartlett were meant to be humorous but stated that these references had since been removed from the production.
