  • From Privy Council to Supreme Court: a Rite of Passage for New Zealand’S Legal System
    THE HARKNESS HENRY LECTURE FROM PRIVY COUNCIL TO SUPREME COURT: A RITE OF PASSAGE FOR NEW ZEALAND’S LEGAL SYSTEM BY PROFESSOR MARGARET WILSON* I. INTRODUCTION May I first thank Harkness Henry for the invitation to deliver the 2010 Lecture. It gives me an opportunity to pay a special tribute to the firm for their support for the Waikato Law Faculty that has endured over the 20 years life of the Faculty. The relationship between academia and the profession is a special and important one. It is essential to the delivery of quality legal services to our community but also to the maintenance of the rule of law. Harkness Henry has also employed many of the fine Waikato law graduates who continue to practice their legal skills and provide leadership in the profession, including the Hamilton Women Lawyers Association that hosted a very enjoyable dinner in July. I have decided this evening to talk about my experience as Attorney General in the establish- ment of New Zealand’s new Supreme Court, which is now in its fifth year. In New Zealand, the Attorney General is a Member of the Cabinet and advises the Cabinet on legal matters. The Solici- tor General, who is the head of the Crown Law Office and chief legal official, is responsible for advising the Attorney General. It is in matters of what I would term legal policy that the Attorney General’s advice is normally sought although Cabinet also requires legal opinions from time to time. The other important role of the Attorney General is to advise the Governor General on the appointment of judges in all jurisdictions except the Mäori Land Court, where the appointment is made by the Minister of Mäori Affairs in consultation with the Attorney General.

  • Ascertaining the Meaning of Legislation – a Question of Context
    629 ASCERTAINING THE MEANING OF LEGISLATION – A QUESTION OF CONTEXT Cathy Nijman* It has been said that "no word in an Act can be safely interpreted out of its context". Yet, Parliament was sufficiently concerned about the courts' use of external context as an aid to statutory interpretation to decide consciously to omit reference to "context" when enacting section 5(1) of the Interpretation Act 1999. This paper investigates the reasons for Parliament's concern. It examines cases decided before and after the enactment of section 5(1) to establish past and present judicial practice when using external context as an interpretive aid. The paper concludes that the omission of "context from section 5(1) has not altered the courts' principled approach to matters of interpretation, and it demonstrates that consideration of external context is an essential corollary to the purposive approach to statutory interpretation mandated by Parliament for over 100 years. I INTRODUCTION Statutory interpretation was at the heart of the case described by the late Lord Cooke of Thorndon1 "[as] perhaps as important for the future of our country as any that has come before a New Zealand Court".2 New Zealand has placed heavy reliance on statute law since the country was first settled as a British colony.3 That early preference for statute law, accompanied by close attention to statutory construction and scheme, permeates much of New Zealand's legal history and * Submitted as part of the LLB(Hons) programme at Victoria University of Wellington. 1 Robin Brunskill Cooke, Baron Cooke of Thorndon, 9 May 1926-30 August 2006.

  • Address to the Law Commission's 20Th
    1 Interweavers: The Contribution of the Judiciary to New Zealand Law Rt Hon Dame Sian Elias* When I first spoke to Sir Geoffrey about giving a paper at this conference (his idea, not mine), I thought I was being asked to speak about the contribution of judges to law reform. It was something of a shock to see that the programme had me addressing the grander and more daunting topic of “the contribution of the New Zealand judiciary to New Zealand law”. At least, I thought it was a daunting topic. On Wednesday, at the swearing in of the new Governor-General, I mentioned to a senior member of the government that I would have to slip away early to get going on what I was going to say today. She was brisk. “The contribution of New Zealand judges to law? That’s easy. Judges apply the law.” Well, of course, that’s true, but the difficult question is how judges identify what the law is they must apply. That requires consideration of judicial function and how judges fit into a wider conception of law. The Law Commission was set up to keep under review in a systematic way the law of New Zealand. At the insistence of its first President, Sir Owen Woodhouse, its function was wider than law reform. I am not sure that the point he was making is in itself one of substance. Law is always changing and reforming. So a Law Commission cannot help but be a law reform commission. Change, in the end, has to be justified against the existing legal order.

  • The Wheels of Justice: Understanding the Pace of Civil High Court Cases
    The Wheels of Justice: Understanding the Pace of Civil High Court Cases Bridgette Toy-Cronin, Bridget Irvine, A report of the University of Otago Legal Issues Centre Kayla Stewart and Mark Henaghan with support from the New Zealand Law Foundation ISBN 978-0-473-41311-8 Executive Summary Delays in the court process are a key obstacle in accessing justice. Delay creates costs; not only in the loss of time but also financial and psychological costs. These costs are borne by the litigants, the economy, and the public purse. This is the first major New Zealand study to investigate the pace of High Court civil cases and to examine if, and where, delays might occur. In this report, we look at both the overall length of cases, and we focus on various points in the life of a case where delay might occur. We have used mixed methods to study these issues: a quantitative analysis of data provided by the Ministry of Justice, an analysis of physical court files, and interviews with lawyers, judges, court staff, and litigants. Determining the overall length of a case is a more complex task than it appears on its face, particularly as there are limitations to the data recorded by the Ministry of Justice. Where possible, we have used our analysis of the physical court files to overcome these limitations and evaluate case length. On average, a case filed in the High Court will conclude within 191.5 days. General proceedings, one of the types of civil proceedings heard by the High Court, frequently exceeded the average case length, taking an average of 381 days to conclude.
