Coriander’s
in liquidation
• By Sophie Cornish
A RESTAURANT owner facing
worker exploitation charges has
had four of his businesses put into
liquidation.
Last month it was revealed
Coriander’s Ethnic Indian Restaurants
owner Amar Deep Singh
is facing charges of exploiting
his workers, whom the Labour
Inspectorate concluded were
systematically underpaid and
abused.
Last week, four businesses
under Singh’s name were put into
liquidation by Inland Revenue.
These are Coriander’s Ltd, Jeet
Holdings Ltd, Jeet Holdings No 2
Ltd and Jeet Holdings No 8 Ltd.
The application is due to be
heard in the High Court at
Christchurch on March 5. Coriander’s
restaurants have operated
in the wider Christchurch area for
the past 12 years, with three restaurants
currently operating – one
in the central city, one in Upper
Riccarton and one in Rolleston.
In relation to the worker exploitation
charges, the Inspectorate is
seeking recovery of pay, a declaration
of breach, penalties and a
banning order.
The charges against Singh
are scheduled to be heard in
the Employment Court in
Christchurch on May 19 and 20.
The restaurants are still open.
