Aside from the inevitable hyperbole, these Footnotes headlines carry an element of truth and, more importantly, Page 12 act as a cautionary reminder of the pervasive nature of corruption, particularly within the construction industry. In 2011, Transparency International’s Bribe Payers Index indicated that, out of the 19 different business sectors it surveyed across 28 of the world’s largest economies (including the UK), bribery was perceived to be most common in the public works contracts and construction sector. This perception of the construction industry remains and is not confined to jurisdictions that are seemingly more corrupt than the UK1. A report produced by the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) in September 2013 found that 49% of the 701 UK based construction professionals it surveyed considered that corruption was either extremely or fairly common within the UK construction industry. This sentiment was reinforced by a subsequent report published by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation & Development (OECD) in December 2014, which analysed 427 bribery enforcement actions across 17 countries (including the UK) between February 1999 and June 2014 and noted that almost two thirds of the cases occurred in just four sectors, with the construction industry ranking as the joint second most corrupt of those sectors.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. From Coal Pit to Leather Pit: Life Stories of Robert Semple A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of a PhD in History at Massey University Carina Hickey 2010 ii Abstract In the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography Len Richardson described Robert Semple as one of the most colourful leaders of the New Zealand labour movement in the first half of the twentieth century. Semple was a national figure in his time and, although historians had outlined some aspects of his public career, there has been no full-length biography written on him. In New Zealand history his characterisation is dominated by two public personas. Firstly, he is remembered as the radical organiser for the New Zealand Federation of Labour (colloquially known as the Red Feds), during 1910-1913. Semple’s second image is as the flamboyant Minister of Public Works in the first New Zealand Labour government from 1935-49. This thesis is not organised in a chronological structure as may be expected of a biography but is centred on a series of themes which have appeared most prominently and which reflect the patterns most prevalent in Semple’s life. The themes were based on activities which were of perceived value to Semple. Thus, the thematic selection was a complex interaction between an author’s role shaping and forming Semple’s life and perceived real patterns visible in the sources.

    Legal update on insolvency law - April 2013 David Perry, Scott Barker, Willie Palmer, Jan Etwell, Scott Abel, Susan Rowe, David Broadmore, Myles O'Brien, Kelly Paterson, Seb Bisley, Peter Niven 2 April 2013 Court of Appeal rules in favour of liquidators on good faith defence to voidable transaction claims In our last newsletter we reported on three decisions from the High Court on the good faith defence under section 296(3) of the Companies Act 1993 to voidable transaction claims, amongst others. Late last week the Court of Appeal issued its judgment in Farrell and Rogan as Liquidators of Contract Engineering Limited (in receivership and liquidation) v Fences and Kerbs Limited [2013] NZCA 91 on the interpretation of the meaning of the words "gave value" in that subsection. Section 296(3) stipulates a transaction cannot be set aside if the recipient of property shows that the creditor acted in good faith, did not suspect insolvency, and that gave value for the property or altered its position in reliance on receiving it. On 7 February 2012 the Court of Appeal had heard three appeals by the liquidators. In all of the cases the High Court had held that a creditor could be considered to have "given value" where goods or services were provided prior to payment. The Court of Appeal overturned these rulings and held that an antecedent debt or value given prior to receipt of property by the creditor did not constitute giving of value under section 296(3)(c). In reaching this conclusion it focussed on differences between New Zealand and Australian provisions that appeared to indicate Parliament intended to adopt a much narrower interpretation in a temporal sense, by constraining the giving of value to value given at the time of payment.
