ISSN 1172-9597 EDITOR'S INTRODUCTION I am pleased to present the tenth edition of the Waikato Law Review. I thank the authors who submitted articles to the Review, the referees to whom articles were sent, and the members of the editorial committee. The Review is proud to publish the Harkness Henry Lecture of the Right Honourable Justice Tipping, a Judge of the Court of Appeal. His lecture on "Striking the Right Balance Between Citizens and the Media" was highly topical, and was enriched by his recent experience as a member of the Privy Council which heard litigation in this area. The growing prestige of the Review in New Zealand continues to be reflected in the articles received from outside the University of Waikato. The Review is pleased to publish an article on damages by a former academic staff member of the University of Papua New Guinea, and an article on the battered woman's syndrome by an academic staff member of the University of Auckland. There are two student publications in the Review. One, by Thomas Gibbons, is an opportune review of the Waikato Law Review over its first ten years. The other, by Jane Walker, is the winning submission in the annual student advocacy contest kindly sponsored by the Hamilton firm McCaw Lewis Chapman. The other contributions to the Review were written by staff at the University of Waikato. These submissions, and the others noted above, underline the Waikato Law School's continuing commitment to its foundation goals. Professor Peter Spiller, Editor, Waikato Law Review.

But the freedom of speech which is there affirmed is subject to any reasonable limit prescribed by law which may be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society. Section 5 of the Bill of Rights is the vehicle which thereby allows freedom of speech to be curtailed to the extent appropriate to accommodate other rights and values. Hence the law of defamation can co-exist with section 14, albeit in difficult cases there will always be tension between the two, which the Courts must resolve. Freedom of speech does not in general terms entitle people to speak falsely of others to the detriment of their reputations. That would not be for "the common convenience and welfare of society", as Parke B described the rationale for what became an occasion of qualified privilege, in the influential early case of Toogood v Spyring.I Hard-won reputations are entitled to protection as well as freedom of speech. Nevertheless the common law right to protect your good name must co-exist with the right of others to speak freely about you and thus, in some circumstances, falsities will not be actionable. In the days before mass media communication had developed to its present extent, the accommodation of the competing interests was relatively straightforward. Historically it developed largely through the doctrines of fair comment and qualified privilege. In respect of the latter, the law came to recognise that there were circumstances in which the malice that would ordinarily be inferred from the speaking of falsehoods about another person could not reasonably be inferred. I developed this theme in my separate judgment in the first Lange case.2 * A Judge of the Court of Appeal of New Zealand. I (1834) I Cr M & R 181, 193 and 194; 149 ER 1044, 1050; [1824-34] AllER Rep 735. 2 Lange v Atkinson [1998]3 NZLR 424,471-472. 2 Waikato Law Review VollO The familiar duty/interest test for qualified privilege grew up on this basis. It was based on the notion of reciprocity of interest and duty between the speaker or writer and the person or persons to whom the words were addressed. The privilege could be defeated if the malice which was not presumed could be expressly proved. Such malice was called express or actual malice to distinguish it from the malice that would otherwise have been presumed from the speaking of the falsehood. Express or actual malice in this sense can now be regarded as subsumed in the concept of misusing the occasion of privilege adopted in section 19(1) of the Defamation Act 1992. Misuse of the occasion is deemed to have occurred if spite or ill-will can be demonstrated but is not confined to those concepts. Section 19( 1) provides: (I) In any proceedings for defamation, a defence of qualified privilege shall fail if the plaintiff proves that, in publishing the matter that is the subject of the proceedings, the defendant was predominantly motivated by ill will towards the plaintiff, or otherwise took improper advantage of the occasion of publication. By dint of its historical origin and the associated criteria, qualified privilege was, until recently, seldom available for publications directed to a wide audience. It was difficult under the traditional approach to the privilege to conclude that the public at large, or a substantial section of the public, had the necessary legitimate interest in the publication to raise in the publisher a reciprocal duty to publish. A matter which was of interest to the public was not one which per se invested the publisher with a duty to publish it to the general public. But the historical approach to the interest/duty equation has had to respond to two relatively recent phenomena. The first is the rise of the mass media. The second is the growing emphasis which both the common law and constitutional or quasi-constitutional instruments have been giving to freedom of speech. The response of the law of qualified privilege to these developments has been influenced also by the significant fact that malice in the traditional sense is usually difficult to demonstrate when the publication is one involving the mass media. And of course at common law (as under section 19) the onus is on the plaintiff to show that the defendant publisher was actuated by malice (or now its statutory equivalent). The challenge of accommodating all these strands into a coherent legal structure, which adequately balances the competing interests, reached the top Courts in Australia, England and New Zealand at much the same time. David Lange, the former Prime Minister of New Zealand, has been the leading contributor to the jurisprudence in the Antipodes. Albert Reynolds, a 2002 Journalistic Responsibility 3 former Prime Minister of Ireland, has been the main contributor in the United Kingdom. It is not my purpose to survey in any detail the judgments in the various cases. The Australian cases came first. The decisions of the High Court of Australia were influenced by constitutional factors and also by the particular terms of the Defamation Act 1974 (NSW). It can fairly be said that the High Court laid special emphasis on the idea that "freedom of communication on matters of government and politics is an indispensable incident of [the] system of representative government".3 A counterbalance to that freedom, namely, the taking of reasonable care, was able to be found in the statute, either directly or by analogy, so the High Court was not faced with the difficulties other Courts have faced in finding an appropriate control.

  • RMLA Conf 2014- the Resource Management
    The Resource Management Act: Origins, Context and Intentions Lindsay Gow1, Resource Management Law Association Conference, Dunedin, 25 September 2014 Part 1: Origins and Context The RMA was the result of a number of policy, governance and resource and management issues and events. These led to the development of the Resource Management Law Reform process (RMLR) in 1988. The principal issues as I saw them were: A growing awareness of environmental and resource issues The origins of this go back well into the early part of the 20th Century, and indeed even earlier, with the creation of national parks and reserves. New Zealand’s leading role in soil conservation in the 1930s was also a notable contributor. But the big development initiatives in the post World War II era, especially hydro- electric developments, started to result in raised public awareness and reaction. One of the first examples of this was the Aratiatia Dam (near Taupo on the Waikato River) where public pressure resulted in a compromise. This resulted in an agreement to turn the Aratiatia rapids on and off twice a day – rather than have them de-watered permanently. This “instant rapids” effect still happens today. It was probably the proposal to raise Lake Manapouri that garnered the greatest interest and reaction, and put environmental issues very much in centre stage. Native forest logging issues and proposals also resulted in a huge public and community reaction. And then there was the reaction to the “Think Big” projects of the early eighties, which resulted in the abandonment of one of the proposals - for an Aluminum Smelter at Aramoana near Dunedin.

  • Sub-007-Sir-Geoffrey-Palmer-QC-And
    Submission on New Zealand Productivity Commission’s Better urban planning, Issues Paper, December 2015 Submitted by: Sir Geoffrey Palmer QC and Dr Roger Blakeley Executive Summary We agree with the Productivity Commission in its Using land for housing report, that there are “systemic weaknesses in the planning framework”. We do not agree that the weaknesses require the design of a whole new planning system. That would cause upheaval in institutional arrangements and jurisprudence, with costs and uncertainty for a long time. Also, we do not agree with the constant fiddling with the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA), which debilitates both the Act and its administration. There is much about the RMA that needs to be fixed. The fixes do not require ‘throwing out’ the Act, nor should they involve changes to the purpose and principles of the Act as set out in sections 5, 6 and 7. Our recent experience with stakeholders is that there is support for the original intention of the RMA, as articulated by the responsible Ministers at the time, Rt Hon Geoffrey Palmer and Hon Simon Upton. The core idea was that development must take place within the capacity of the environment and the eco-systems that support it. We recommend that major changes be made to the way the Act is being implemented, that would better enable economic and social development. They are set out in sections D.1 to D.9 of this submission: • Regional spatial planning at the strategic level • Integration across the RMA, LGA and LTMA • Better provision for urban planning within the RMA • Mitigation and adaptation to climate change • More central guidance through NPS and NES • Better district planning and rule-making • Institutional design and decision-making • Rigorous monitoring/evaluation of effectiveness of the Act The above changes would not be disruptive to established jurisprudence, but they would require radical changes in behaviours and action by parties that have responsibilities for implementation under the Act.

  • Too Young – Too Old an Address by Rt Hon Simon Upton Date: Wednesday, 13 December 2000
    Too Young – Too Old An address by Rt Hon Simon Upton Date: Wednesday, 13 December 2000 Background Too Young – Too Old was Rt Hon Simon Upton’s valedictory speech. After leaving Parliament he moved to France and became Chairman of the Roundtable on sustainable development for the OECD. Source: Retrieved May 5 2015 from http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=164898 Speech It has been a privilege to serve here. But the House of Representatives needs constant replenishment with people who are not comfortable with its ways. On that count alone it is certainly time that I moved on. If there has been a disappointment for me it has been this place – Parliament. I love debating. I came here 19 years ago to debate. People expect us to discuss the big issues. But we rarely do. We have emasculated the opportunities for debate to such an extent, that there are better policy discussions occurring in some local council chambers around this country than here. Outside of question time (which has greatly improved thanks in no small part to your leadership Mr Speaker) this has become a place of formulaic offerings along partisan lines. Only when we carefully stake out a "conscience issue" do people see us trying to persuade one another by arguing the substance of the case. I don't claim there was once some golden age of oratory here, but the extended debates on the Budget and the Address in Reply that used to unfold in a much more leisurely way, gave each Member the opportunity to address issues outside of the treadmill of government legislation that the Executive serves up.

Abstract Inside the Black Box: The Influence of Government Executive Forces on Environmental Policy Effectiveness in New Zealand By Hugh Logan The causes of variation in effectiveness of environmental public policy are subject to debate. Different levels of effectiveness in wider government policy are commonly explained by external influences. Fewer studies focus on the role of factors within the Executive, such as institutional arrangements, differing levels of capability in policy-makers, and ways ideas shape how people and institutions perceive environmental values and issues. This study aims to advance our understanding of how such factors combine to effect environmental policy in a specific national jurisdiction.

Roderick Deane has been a personal friend and professional colleague since he first taught me economics at Victoria University in 1967. I admire him as a person, and for his enormous contributions to business and government in New Zealand. I hope this association does not bias my views of this book, or that readers will discount them if it does. Michael Bassett, arguably New Zealand’s leading political historian, and his wife Judith have written a book about Roderick Deane’s “life and times”. The two parts deserve equal emphasis. They had access to Deane’s large and orderly collection of personal papers now passed to the Alexander Turnbull Library, as well as to many of the players in New Zealand’s recent economic history. The book chronicles Deane’s life from his formation as an economist; his work at the Reserve Bank where he rose to deputy governor; his eventful year and a bit as chairman of the State Services Commission overseeing public sector reforms; his five years as CEO of the Electricity Corporation of New Zealand running a state-owned enterprise, followed by seven years heading the privatised Telecom Corporation; and his subsequent business career as a chairman or director of several major New Zealand and Australian corporates.

  • Cave Creek: a National Tragedy (A)
    CASE PROGRAM 2004-2.1 Cave Creek: a national tragedy (A) On Friday 28 April 1995, Department of Conservation (DOC) Chief Executive Bill Mansfield took an urgent phone call. It told him that one of the department’s viewing platforms on the West Coast of the South Island had collapsed. Details were unclear, but there had been injuries and probably deaths. Rescue efforts, reliant on helicopters at the remote site, were already underway. By the end of the day, Mansfield was on the Coast, ready to inspect the scene, and the first questions were being asked, why this tragedy had occurred. The Department of Conservation Bill Mansfield took over the leadership of DOC in 1990. He would be the third chief executive in three years, picking up after lengthy spells with an acting CE; he would be working to the third minister since the department was established in 1987. For most of his career a lawyer with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mansfield had returned from New York in 1986 to become a deputy secretary of Justice, one of the largest public sector departments at that time, with management responsibility for around 2000 staff and a budget of approximately $NZ200 million.1 He had worked at Justice through the introduction of the State Sector and Public Finance Acts in 1988 and 1989.2 This case was written by Janet Tyson with supervision by Professor John Alford and Dr Richard Norman, ANZSOG. It has been prepared as a basis for class discussion rather than to illustrate either effective or ineffective handling of a managerial situation.
