Inset: Temporary judges of the Court of Appeal (left) JUSTICE WOODHOUSE; (right) JUSTICE RICHMOND. JUDGES AT WORK: THE NEW ZEALAND COURT OF APPEAL (1958-1976) BY PETER SPILLER* I. INTRODUCTION On 11 September 1957, the New Zealand Attorney-General, the Hon John Marshall, moved the second reading of the Bill for the establishment of a "permanent and separate" Court of Appeal. He declared that this was "a notable landmark in our judicial history and a significant advance in the administration of justice in New Zealand".! The Bill was duly passed and the Court commenced sitting in February 1958. In this article I shall analyse the reasons for the creation of the so-called "permanent and separate" Court of Appeal. I shall then examine the Court of Appeal judiciary, the relationship between the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court, and the work of the Court of Appeal, during the tenures of the first four Presidents of the Court. I shall conclude by assessing the extent to which the expectations of the Court at its outset were realised in the period under review. The aim of this article is to provide insight into the personalities and processes that have shaped the development of the law in the highest local Court in New Zealand. II. GENESIS OF THE "PERMANENT AND SEPARATE" COURT OF APPEAL The New Zealand Court of Appeal existed as an effective entity from February 1863, when it commenced sitting in terms of the Court of Appeal Act 1862.2 The Court had been established in response to requests by the judges for a Court within New Zealand which would provide a level of appeal more accessible than that which lay to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in London.3 The Court was composed of all the judges of the Supreme Court.

  • 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.

  • Institutional Racism and the Dynamics of Privilege in Public Health
    Institutional Racism and the Dynamics of Privilege in Public Health A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Management at The University of Waikato by HEATHER ANNE CAME _____________________________________ 2012 ABSTRACT Institutional racism, a pattern of differential access to material resources and power determined by race, advantages one sector of the population while disadvantaging another. Such racism is not only about conspicuous acts of violence but can be carried in the hold of mono-cultural perspectives. Overt state violation of principles contributes to the backdrop against which much less overt yet insidious violations occur. New Zealand health policy is one such mono- cultural domain. It is dominated by western bio-medical discourses that preclude and under-value Māori,1 the indigenous peoples of this land, in the conceptualisation, structure, content, and processes of health policies, despite Te Tiriti o Waitangi2 guarantees to protect Māori interests. Since the 1980s, the Department of Health has committed to honouring the Treaty of Waitangi as the founding document of Māori-settler relationships and governance arrangements. Subsequent Waitangi Tribunal reports, produced by an independent Commission of Inquiry have documented the often-illegal actions of successive governments advancing the interests of Pākehā3 at the expense of Māori. Institutional controls have not prevented inequities between Māori and non-Māori across a plethora of social and economic indicators. Activist scholars work to expose and transform perceived inequities. My research interest lies in how Crown Ministers and officials within the public health sector practice institutional racism and privilege and how it can be transformed.

  • Accident Compensation in Swiss and New Zealand
    ACCIDENT COMPENSATION IN SWISS AND NEW ZEALAND LAW – SOME SELECTED ISSUES THAT UNDERMINE THE PURPOSE IN BOTH SCHEMES By Yvonne Wampfler Rohrer A dissertation submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Laws Victoria University of Wellington 2009 ABSTRACT This dissertation analyses selected issues that undermine the coherence and the purposes of the Swiss and New Zealand accident compensation schemes. Unlike other European states the Swiss accident compensation provides cover for non-work related accidental injury, which makes it a useful subject of comparison with the New Zealand accident compensation scheme which provides a comprehensive, no fault compensation scheme for personal injury. In undertaking a largely comparative approach the paper argues that both schemes have drifted away considerably from the original underlying purpose to provide compensation for work incapacity and, on the other hand, to restore the claimant to a level of work capacity as soon as possible. This thesis is illustrated by examining the vulnerability of the schemes to political change, the arbitrary dichotomy between incapacity to work caused by accidental injury and incapacity caused by sickness, the definitions of an accident in both schemes and the assessment of evidence. The paper finds that both schemes should be amended and suggests alternative approaches for each issue.

  • Did Muldoon Really 'Go Too Slowly' with CER?
    New Zealand Journal of History, 41, 2 (2007) Did Muldoon really ‘go too slowly’ with CER?1 CONVENTIONAL WISDOM HAS IT that the Australia New Zealand Closer Economic Relations Trade Agreement 1983 (CER) came into existence ‘despite’ rather than ‘because of’ Robert Muldoon, New Zealand’s Prime Minister and Minister of Finance from 1975 to 1984, who was not much interested in the arrangement.2 The perception is that Muldoon stalled the process, confounding the efforts of policy innovators who were keen for New Zealand to deregulate. Commonly, the subsequent neoliberal experiment of Rogernomics is justified in terms of Muldoon’s failure to adjust to transformed global realities. Implicit in this view is the assumption that Muldoon, the arch- regulator, could not be responsible for what is widely praised as the world’s most successful and ‘most comprehensive free trade agreement’.3 This article tests the conventional wisdom against archival sources about the negotiation of CER. It has two launching points: my previous work that argues that CER confounds any analysis of the Muldoon era as solely associated with controls and big government; and second the idea that CER is consistent with a historical pattern of long-term aspirations for trans-Tasman economic arrangements.4 The critical archival sources surrounding CER were published in a volume compiled jointly by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of CER.5 In this first historical analysis of these trans- Tasman documents, I argue that the primary evidence reveals Muldoon to have been a consistent supporter of CER negotiations and a critical participant in decision-making.
