I have my issues with the way the Marsden Fund has worked in recent years, but completely disbanding the social science and humanities funds is mind-bogglingly short sighted. There is already very little support for this work in NZ compared to Australia. beehive.govt.nz/release/marsde…

@maddyna_sh Thanks Maddy, indeed - so many great people make up our law school. Greetings from the Wellington sunshine

Proud, privileged and a little overwhelmed to be Dean of the Faculty that I love in the university I adore. There are lots of challenges ahead but as I tell my colleagues our Faculty has been in the business of changing lives since 1906, long may that continue!

People are indeed the most important thing - we have exceptional world-class scholars who care deeply about their research and teaching, students who are extraordinarily diverse and full of promise, and a community that is passionate in its support.

It’s been a great first week at CIL at NUS. I’ve given two talks, one of which was chaired by the great Tommy Koh. I’m living engaging with the superb staff. Thanks @niluferoral !

that might really be the point - PSTEs are a unique New Zealand creation, and Te Ture Whenua is obviously uniquely NZ , so may be it is that context that matters more

the trusts lawyer in me is a little frustrated that the big trusts issues - the general nature of a beneficiary's interest in a discretionary trust is somewhat avoided by the focus on the particular but...

This case is a big deal - there is no more interesting subject in NZ law ( really truly ) about how Post Treaty Settlements Entities fit into New Zealand law - this is a beginning

This is a fabulous book! It was such an honour to work with the wonderful contributors from around the world, and we had a superstar editorial team of @snailsinbottles, Jonathan Morgan and Sandy Steel. Most importantly, it reflects on and celebrates the legend Jane Stapleton.

Delighted to attend the inaugural professorial lecture of my hoamahi at @VicUniWgtn, Prof Cathy Iorns.

Putua is an easier case - there was a simple clerical error that led to the wrong sentence , in Fitzgerald the HC and the CA adopted probably a pretty orthodox view of the Three Strikes Act that required a very unjust result
English
This will be a huge case - not least of which because the SC has already signalled it will hear arguments about when SC will depart from its own decisions, but it will also require the Court to openly deal with major issues about the nature of state liability in NZ
English
And so Ellis J’s creative attempt to get around Chapman and its prohibition on suing the state of NZ for judicial errors failed. The way is now clear for the Supreme Court to hear directly arguments that Chapman was wrong, as it did gave leave in Putnam.
