Kaipara Mayor Greg Gent says “it is unlikely we would pursue matters further.” The action stemmed from KDC claims that Mr McKerchar was in part responsible for the cost blowout on the

ill-starred Mangawhai sewage scheme, estimated to cost $10.8 million and which ballooned to some $57 million. The Employment Court has ruled that the case is struck out because of a 2011 agreement reached between Mr

McKerchar and the previous council that the parties would not sue each other in the future.
