Exploring Māori legal traditions
- Victoria University of Wellington
- In recent years, there has been growing recognition that Māori law is not limited to practices that the state legal system recognises. Māori society has law-making and dispute resolution institutions which both predate the New Zealand state legal system and continue to operate alongside it. Māori legal traditions exist as part of a distinct Māori legal system.

Harcourts - Court says no to demolition
- Iona Pannett
- Great news today that the Environment Court has for the second time said no to demolishing the Harcourts building on Lambton Quay. The decision just made public essentially has vindicated the Council position: that our District Plan sets a high bar for demolishing heritage buildings and that in this case, the bar was not reached. Interestingly, the Court also found no fundamental conflict between the operation of the Building and Resource Management Acts and found that leaving the building standing would not fundamentally compromise public safety.
