The PLS runs occasional webinars on topics of interest to property practitioners. These are usually co-hosted with our partners, Toitū Te Whenua Land Information New Zealand and Legal Executives New Zealand, or other government departments with whom we have stakeholder relationships.

We will be scheduling and announcing more upcoming events for 2023. See below for past PLS events that are still available to view:

Landonline Demo - webinar 15 November 12pm to 1pm

Toitū Te Whenua Land Information NZ is presenting a 60-minute livestream webinar on its Landonline - Dealings application, in association with the New Zealand Law Society’s Property Law Section and Legal Executives New Zealand.

This is a step-by-step walk through of the new application. The process you use remains largely the same, but the web-based application has a new look and feel (similar to Web Search) and is fast and easy to navigate.

Learning outcomes include:

• Ability to create, process and submit dealings in New Landonline – Dealings
• Understand what tasks can be done in New Landonline v Legacy Landonline
• Know how to quickly access help resources and where to go for support.

Property Transactions in the Aftermath of Extreme Weather Events Webinar - 5 April 2023

The New Zealand Law Society’s Property Law Section | Ngā Rōia Ture Rawa (PLS) is presenting a webinar panel session that will consider various transactional, EQC and insurance scenarios following the recent severe weather events.

Join PLS Chair, Mark Sherry and Deputy Chair Kristine King, as they host our expert panellists in a session that will include a practical focus on:

• contracts on foot at the time of a disaster – cancellation or compensation?
• damage to land only, or damage to the house only – from the landowner’s perspective, and disclosure for your purchaser client
• selling property subject to an insurance claim and assignment
• dispute resolution – scoping repair costs: getting the right advice at the outset.
