Editor’s Notes

New Zealand Law Reports Editor Geoff McLay’s Editor’s Notes is a blog that provides readers with regular commentary on the cases we publish in the Reports. It is designed to not only let you know what is significant in terms of the doctrine in cases reported, but to also provide a flavour of how New Zealand judges are deciding important cases and reveal possible links between what seem like disparate decisions. Cases mentioned therein are linked to the reports on Lexis Advance.
