The message
from "Geoff Bryant" contains these words:
Provided the leaf drop is not excessive it's normal. Griselinia leaves
turn
yellow before the fall and can hang on at that stage for some time.
In the UK, griselinia only survives in mild coastal areas, where it's
evergreen. In the UK, it's not normal for it to turn yellow in June.
Are you saying it's deciduous when it's at home in NZ?
No, it's not deciduous but always carries some yellow leaves that are at the
point of dropping.

Thanks for your replies,
I am in the north east coast of Scotland. The shrubs are evergreen all year, yet seem to loose leafs only really in spring / summer. I will just keep an eye on them. As a percentage only a small number of leaves are lost and the other leaves look nice apple green and healthy, I can see no pests on the plant although a large tree nearby has got lots of greenfly.
