Fair Go founder Brian Edwards has made a scathing attack on the consumer affairs programme.
The TV One show's original frontman has questioned the programme's ethics, criticising its reporters and investigative practices.
In a post on his website yesterday, Dr Edwards uses a "Kafkaesque" scenario to describe Fair Go.
"It'shard to believe that a monstrous court like the one in the Kafkaesque story could exist in New Zealand. But it does. It's called Fair Go. I set it up 35 years ago."
In The Trial, Franz Kafka writes about a man arrested and prosecuted by a remote authority for an unspecified crime he has no knowledge of.
In his website post, Dr Edwards accuses the programme of minimising issues into its allocated time frame.
"This week I was acting as a support person to someone who is taking a case to the Disputes Tribunal.
"After an hour and a half of questioning by the referee, we still hadn't sorted out the facts of the case, let alone come remotely near to any clarity on who had right or the law on their side.
