Radio New Zealand has won the country's longest-running employment case, brought against it by former managing editor Lynne Snowdon.
Ms Snowdon went to the Employment Court accusing the public broadcaster of unjustifiable dismissal and fraud, but the judge has dismissed all her claims.
In 2003, Ms Snowdon went on sick leave and her employment was terminated in 2005 when she failed to return to work.
Ms Snowdon claimed that the company had seriously disadvantaged her, including removing her authority to set newsroom budgets. She also alleged fraud relating to monies provided by New Zealand on Air.
After a hearing lasting 47 sitting days, Judge Anthony Ford said on Tuesday that Ms Snowdon was principally responsible for the breakdown in her employment relationship.
Judge Ford dismissed her grievance claim that she was disadvantaged, that she was unjustifiably dismissed, and said there was not one scintilla of evidence in support of a single claim of fraud. He also awarded Radio New Zealand costs.
The case is one of the country's longest-running employment disputes, beginning in late 2002.
