   ...provided opportunity to [LAW FIRM A] to comment on the statement of claim; and (f) Mr PT continued to ignore the significant issue that he was not a party to the instructions received by [LAW FIRM A]; and (g) underpinning Mr PT’s argument is the enduring and adamant conviction that he is “correct” on all issues of legal interpretation, this to justify the aggressive and inappropriate manner in which he had framed the draft statement of claim; and (h) argument that the stat...

3. Julian v Inia - Succession to Moehuarahi Te Ruuri (2024) 309 Waiariki MB 197 (309 WAR 197) [pdf, 459 KB]

   ...Mr Pou did not argue that tikanga, its principles or duties they impose were somehow irrelevant or frozen in pre-Treaty times. There is no sense that Tā Hirini Moko Mead’s evidence in Re Kupa was anything but suggestive that these duties are enduring, nor any learned author who has claimed otherwise. [78] Given that the duties at tikanga existed as at the time of death, there is no requirement to determine whether Moehuarahi knew of their existence in precise terms, for them to...

   ...voter trust in, and respect for, our core democratic values. The Ministry states its preference for a slower, more consultative approach to electoral reform. This would honour the convention that substantive changes to democratic rights should be enduring and occur only following careful consideration and with broad public support. Communications 61 I propose to issue a press release announcing the re-introduction of the prisoner voting ban shortly, following Cabinet policy approvals....

5. Auckland Standards Committee v Castles [2013] NZLCDT 53 [pdf, 277 KB]

   ...were fatally flawed. It was too late for fresh proceedings to be issued. [8] Not surprisingly Mr and Mrs W were distressed to learn this news because they had for almost two years been pursuing these proceedings and of course at the same time enduring the unpleasant experience of the remedial work to their home. Mr W spoke with a golfing companion of his, Mr Castles, whom he knew to be an experienced lawyer. Our impression is that initially Mr W was simply asking for advice abo...

   ...evidence suggests they have not made the system more effective, with reoffending rates remaining high. The independent advisory group heard that the criminal justice system and responses to crime need rebalancing. For change to be effective and enduring, however, it must be the right change. The advisory group’s terms of reference outline the need for a national discussion about what an effective criminal justice system looks like. They say this must involve a thoughtful and informe...

   ...not be too big, or too much at variance with the language used by the Legislature. Or the subject matter may call for a strict interpretation of the statutory language as in penal legislation. [25] As this Court remarked in Gibbs at para [77], an enduring New Zealand case on this topic is the judgment of the Court of Appeal in Northland Milk Vendors Assn Inc v Northern Milk Ltd5. That was a case of new legislation that had not anticipated a very real problem which had not been expr...

   ...the Ministry being the negotiation of Treaty settlements for the Crown. However, the way in which we do this can (and should) change, especially if it means providing results for people and services that are faster and better. Maintaining the enduring principles of justice doesn’t mean that the way we’re organised – the technology, processes and systems we use – and how we work have to be old-fashioned and costly. At a sector level, the focus for chief executives is worki...
