Information contained in summaries

The New Zealand Law Society's Board has decided to make publicly available all Lawyers Standards Committee decision summaries where Committees have directed publication. Anyone accessing these summaries should note the following:

  • Each summary is in the form in which it has been approved for publication by a Standards Committee;
  • Summaries are published in date order and are published after any review period has expired;
  • Each summary will remain on this website for 3 years from the date on which the particular decision was made by a Standards Committee; All efforts have been made to comply with publication orders or other statutory provisions which may apply to a particular decision;
  • The onus remains on anyone using material in a decision summary to ensure that the intended use of the material does not breach any order or statutory provision. The terms of any suppression orders, or any orders limiting the content of any publication, will be included in the summary
