From our highly regarded law reform work to our libraries, from our col- legial activities to the service so many lawyers provide in the regulation of the profession, the organised profession is very active indeed. Continuing the outstanding service the Law Society provides to New Zealand society will be very important. In addition, there are three areas that will continue to require focus and significant direction from the leadership of the profession. These are not new but in our current environment they are more important than ever: ▪ Access to justice; ▪ Promotion and retention of women in the law; and ▪ Practising well. A society that does not ensure access to justice for all its citizens is simply an unjust society. However, we hear the phrase so much it can start to lose its meaning and its importance. As Canada’s well-known Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin has said: “the most advanced justice system in the world is a failure if it does not provide justice to the people it is meant to serve. Access to justice is therefore critical”. As a profession we can’t afford to fail our society, and we will not. This is a foundational issue and one in which all lawyers (not just litigators) should take an interest. I have talked before about how we are in a privileged position and that we need to be constructive and innovative in our approach to the solutions to this issue.

  • Hagley Oval Section 71 Proposal - Further Information Available
    SUBMISSION ON S71 CHANGES TO THE DISTRICT PLAN - HAGLEY OVAL. My name iss9(2)(a I was part of a group that took part in the Environment Court EC and attended each day for 5 weeks. I learned during that case and subseq uently, to be wary of anything Canterbury Cricket Trust CCT says and even more so what they don't say. I have put in a submission on behalf of HO H, concentrating on amenity. This is my personal submission dealing with the proposed changes requested by CCT and their impact on Hagley Park and its other users. I believe that the use of S71 in this instance is wrong. The ability to question expert evidence and present opposing expert evidence is essential in this sensitive proposal. The RMA is the vehicle t hat can provide this. The minister is no doubt aware of the section in the letter of expectation that advises her regarding the use of S71, where the RMA could be used instead. Also the amendment to the Regenerate act proposed by the current minister Megan Wood and passed unanimously by Parliament protecting Hagley Park from the Regen Act. https://www.parliament.nz/en/pb/hansard This states: "But what we are saying is that when it comes to Hagley Park and the protections that have been built up over that piece of land, it actually is time to return to business as usual. When it comes to that particular taonga in the centre of our city, we do need to be able to say, it is if the earthquakes never happened and it is as if the bespoke legislation that is put in place to aid our recovery and our regeneration does not exist...."

  • CEO UPDATE in This Issue
    CEO UPDATE 4 February 2019 A double celebration to mark the official opening of Christchurch Outpatients and Manawa, the health research and education facility We were honoured last Thursday to have three Cabinet Ministers, and hundreds of invited guests – including staff and consumers who had been involved in the development of two landmark buildings in Te Papa Hauora | The Health Precinct – to officially open the new Outpatients and Manawa facilities. It was a fantastic celebratory event. The Minister of Health, the Honourable Dr David Clark was ably assisted by the Minister for Greater Christchurch Regeneration, the Honourable Dr Megan Woods as they jointly cut the ribbon to mark the official opening of Christchurch Outpatients. The Honourable Chris Hipkins, Minister of Education, and Minister Clark jointly drew back the curtains to reveal the sign marking the entrance to Manawa, signifying the partnership and collaboration between health and education. Ministers Megan Woods and David Clark cut the ribbon to officially open Christchurch Outpatients For those who weren’t there, you missed some great speeches where the Canterbury Health System received high praise for our collaborative and innovative approaches to both design, and finding new ways of working together with our partners – whether it’s another organisation, or involving consumers in the design process. In his speech, Minister Clark recognised that Canterbury has faced some of the toughest challenges of any DHB because of the massive impacts of the earthquakes since 2010. He reminded us that in a few weeks it will be eight years since the devastating 22 February quake and acknowledged the dedication and commitment of Canterbury Health System staff who continue to provide high quality health and disability services to our community, despite facing challenges at work and home Ministers David Clark and Chris Hipkins offcially open the new due to the ongoing impact of the quakes.

    Taxation (Annual Rates for 2020–21, Feasibility Expenditure, and Remedial Matters) Bill Government Bill As reported from the Finance and Expenditure Committee Commentary Recommendation The Finance and Expenditure Committee has examined the Taxation (Annual Rates for 2020-21, Feasibility Expenditure, and Remedial Matters) Bill and recommends by majority that it be passed with the amendments shown. Introduction The bill is an omnibus bill, which seeks to amend the following legislation: • Income Tax Act 2007 • Tax Administration Act 1994 • Goods and Services Tax Act 1985 • Student Loan Scheme Act 2011 • KiwiSaver Act 2006 • Companies Act 1993 • Land Transfer Act 2017 • Social Security Act 2018 • Accident Compensation Act 2001 • Taxation (Disclosure of Information to Approved Credit Reporting Agencies) Regulations 2017 • Public and Community Housing Management (Prescribed Elements of Calcula- tion Mechanism) Regulations 2018. The bill has three main purposes. First, the bill seeks to improve the current tax set- tings by ensuring that the current tax rules are working as intended. 273—2 Taxation (Annual Rates for 2020–21, Feasibility 2 Expenditure, and Remedial Matters) Bill Commentary The bill also seeks to modernise the tax settings regarding the Inland Revenue Department’s administration of KiwiSaver and Working for Families. Finally, the bill would set the annual rates of income tax for the 2020-21 tax year. The New Zealand National Party differing view National Party members believe that New Zealand taxpayers have been subject to bracket creep for many years. Bracket creep occurs when inflation pushes wage and salary earners into higher tax brackets, even though they are in reality no better off financially.

  • The Interface Between Law and Accounting and the Discourse Theory Potential of Telecommunications Regulation
    Crossing the Wires: The Interface between Law and Accounting and the Discourse Theory Potential of Telecommunications Regulation By David Bernard Carter A thesis Submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Accounting Victoria University of Wellington 2008 - Abstract - Regulating telecommunications is complex: international experience indicates that there is no ‘successful’ regulatory framework due to the balancing of industry and regulatory interests (Laffont & Tirole, 2000, p. 13). The New Zealand ‘light-handed’ regulatory experiment failed and the 1999 General Election presented an opportunity for change in telecommunications. The Labour-led Government in implementing a policy of ‘responsible re-regulation’ enacted the Telecommunications Act 2001, signalling the passage of “landmark telecommunications legislation …” (Swain, 2001d). Within the Telecommunications Act 2001, ‘cost’ assumed a central regulatory role. It is this move to cost that this thesis considers in identifying, developing, and critiquing the interface of law and accounting. The thesis examines the increasing call for accounting information in law and regulation by interrogating the use, presentation, and reception of accounting to examine the interface between law and cost in the regulation of telecommunications. The Telecommunications Act 2001 incorporates total service long run incremental costing as the ‘costing technique’ for interconnection access and annual net costing for the Telecommunications Service Obligation. Through interrogating ‘cost’ as an accounting technology, in contrast to the economic and legal conception of cost as a simple, objective concept, the thesis illustrates the role of cost at methodological, technical, and political levels, and the challenges that this poses for telecommunications regulation.
