  • Oral Submission to the Education and Workforce Committee on the Employment Relations Amendment Bill
    Oral Submission to the Education and Workforce Committee on the Employment Relations Amendment Bill By written by Bernice Williams, presented by Margaret Ledgerton and Gill Greer on 29 March 2018 Education and Workforce Committee Committee Chairperson: Michael Woodhouse, National List; Jan Tinetti, Labour List; Simeon Brown, National Pakuranga; Denise Lee, National Maungakiekie; Marja Lubeck, Labour List; Jo Luxton, Labour List; Mark Patterson, NZ First List; Jamie Strange, Labour List; Chloe Swarbrick, Green List. (Absent: Nikki Kaye, National Auckland Central). Ata marie. Good morning. My name is Margaret Ledgerton, immediate past Employment Convenor, and my colleague is Dr Gill Greer, CE, both of the National Council of Women of New Zealand, (NCWNZ). The submission we present has been prepared from a background of policy decisions and previous submissions on related matters, which were written following consultation with the membership of our organisation. We welcome the opportunity to convey our organisation’s views to the Committee and wish to record NCWNZ’s support in general of the proposed Bill. We support the intent of the Bill to protect vulnerable workers through the restoration of key minimum standards, the repeal of discriminatory practices, and the strengthening of collective bargaining and union rights in the workplace. Our organisation’s view is that women feature in significant numbers among workers engaged in casual, temporary, fixed-term and zero-hour employment that can be characterised by low and/or fluctuating pay, uncertain duration, and with limited or no access to training, career progression and employment rights and benefits such as sick leave and holiday pay. Legislation that generates improvements for vulnerable workers is good news for women in the workplace, and it is anticpated that enhancements to collective bargaining and union rights will generate broader improvements for women not only in terms of decreasing their vulnerability, but in making progress towards pay equity, and closing the gender pay gap.

  • Contents Page for Jenny Cassie's Crown Entities Act Seminars
    4. CAPACITY AND POWERS OF CROWN ENTITIES Jenny Cassie, Barrister Introduction This chapter discusses the provisions of the Crown Entities Act which relate to the capacity and exercise of powers of statutory entities and, to a more limited degree, Crown entity companies and Crown entity subsidiaries. The commentary covers the generic model as covered by the Act and does not, for example, cover the exercise of powers by statutory officers whose powers must be exercised independently of an entity.72 Legal status Statutory entities, Crown entity companies and Crown entity subsidiaries are all bodies corporate and are therefore legal entities which exist separately from their members, office holders, employees and, importantly, the Crown.73 This separation is illustrated most acutely by the position of statutory entities that are corporations sole. A single person, for example, the Privacy Commissioner, may have corporate status by virtue of being declared a corporation sole. This enables an artificial line to be drawn between the person as an individual and the office as a legal person. Crown entity status contrasts with Departments, which are legally part of the Crown. Departments, having no separate legal status, can be established and disestablished by the Government by executive action. By contrast, a “statutory entity” can only be established or disestablished by legislation. Setting up Crown entity companies requires registration of a company with Ministers as shareholders.74 Capacity of statutory entities “Capacity” describes the legal ability or qualification of an entity to do something. The general rule regarding the capacity of corporations is that:75 The powers of a corporation created by statute are limited and circumscribed by the statutes which regulate it and extend no further than is expressly stated therein, or is necessarily and properly required for carrying into effect the purposes of its incorporation, or may be fairly regarded as incidental to, or consequential on, those things which the legislature has authorised.
