The NZLR maintains a high standard of accuracy. All headnotes for Supreme Court cases are reviewed and approved by the Supreme Court Bench prior to publication. Supreme Court decisions also include the counsels’ arguments, with the NZLR being the only law report series in New Zealand to provide this.
