	Attorney general - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Attorney General of the Duchy of Cornwall is the chief legal adviser to the Prince of Wales, and there is a separate Attorney General for the Duchy of Lancaster, which is owned by the Crown.
		The Attorney General for England and Wales is similarly the chief law officer of the Crown in England and Wales, and advises and represents the Crown and government departments in court.
		The Minister of Justice and Attorney General are combined into one cabinet position in Canada.

	Attorney-General v Carter (CA)
		The first appellant is the Attorney General sued in respect of the Marine Division of the Ministry of Transport (the MOT) which gave an interim certificate of survey on 16 May 1994.
		The Attorney General and MandI have appealed on the basis that the Judge should have struck out the statutory duty causes of action, as well as those based on negligence at common law.
		Generally speaking, proximity is concerned with the nature of the relationship between the parties whereas policy is concerned with the wider legal and other issues involved in deciding for or against a duty of care.

		There are precedents for appointment of a completely new Court of Appeal – in Victoria and Queensland in the late 1990s, the state governments of the day appointed permanent Courts of Appeal along the lines of the New South Wales and New Zealand models.
		Those appointments were made at a time when New Zealand was a completely different society, one which was far less litigious, in an era predating the massive growth of administrative and public law and the introduction of legislation like the Bill of Rights.
		Guest appearances by overseas judges provides no additional benefit to New Zealand, and the suggestion that they could operate as a check on our system is insulting to the judiciary and to this country.

	JUDGES AT WORK: THE NEW ZEALAND COURT OF APPEAL (1958-1976)
		New Zealand statutes such as the Land and Income Tax Act corresponded closely with Australian counterparts, thus prompting extensive reference to case-law thereon; and pronouncements of the Australian High Court were accorded great value and at times even preferred to English judgments.
		North P referred to "the climate of New Zealand law" and stated his belief that "on matters of evidence it is within the province of the Judges to adapt the existing law of evidence to meet modern conditions".
		First, the new legislation specifically provided that "every Judge of the Court of Appeal shall continue to be a Judge of the Supreme Court, and may from time to time sit as or exercise any of the powers of a Judge of the Supreme Court".

	Prime Minister Bolger - Anti Nuclear bid at World Court
		New Zealand hoped greatly that diplomatic representations and realisation by France of the strength of public opposition in the world, including, it may be said, 60 per cent of its own people, would lead to the abandonment of French plans to resume testing.
		At that time the New Zealand Government sought from the Court a determination that the conduct of nuclear tests in the South Pacific region that gave rise to radioactive fallout constituted a violation of New ZealandÂ’s rights under international law and that these rights would be violated by any further such tests.
		In this hope New Zealand was encouraged by its recollection of the fact President Chirac's predecessor President Mitterand had on no fewer than three occasions expressly linked the continuance of French restraint in nuclear testing to the exercise of similar restraint by the United States and Russia.

	NEW ZEALAND LAW SOCIETY
		The fact that commercial contracts entered into in New Zealand are subject to the English common law, and that it is ultimately the Privy Council that decides the applicability of that law is of comfort to overseas entities doing business in New Zealand (and no doubt a number of New Zealand entities).
		Parties to such contract will more readily select the law of New Zealand, or submit their dispute to a New Zealand Court rather than arbitration, if they are aware, for the foreseeable future, that overseas common law Judges contribute to the work of our highest court.
		His appointment recognized the fact that there is an international jurisprudence governing commercial transactions, and having a New Zealand Judge sitting from time to time in the House of Lords would assist in the development of the common law, as it is applied in England.

	ICL - New Zealand - Constitution Act 1986
		(2) The Parliament of New Zealand is the same body as that which before the commencement of this Act was called the General Assembly (as established by section 32 of the New Zealand Constitution Act 1852 of the Parliament of the United Kingdom) and which consisted of the Governor-General and the House of Representatives.
		(1) Where, under the law of the United Kingdom, the royal functions are being performed in the same and on behalf of the Sovereign by a Regent, the royal functions of the Sovereign in right of New Zealand shall be performed in the name and on behalf of the Sovereign by that Regent.
		The House of Representatives shall, at its first meeting after any general election of its members, and immediately on its first meeting after any vacancy occurs in the office of Speaker, choose one of its members as its Speaker, and every such choice shall be effective on being confirmed by the Governor-General.

	New Zealand Attorney General v. Family Court at Otahuhu
		In this case, the New Zealand Attorney General sought a ruling as to whether a trans person may enter into a valid marriage with a person of the sex opposite to that of their post-transition state.
		The judgment which established in New Zealand Law the principle that, for the purposes of marriage, trans people should be legally recognised in their reassigned sex.
		It was common ground also that in New Zealand there is no requirement that such union be recognised by the Christian or any other faith, and that the union may not necessarily be for life.

	NEW ZEALAND PRISONS
		On the 13th January 1841, the New Zealand Journal reported the appointments of William Martin as Chief Justice and William Swainson as Attorney General of New Zealand In early April, both men along with Thomas Outhwaite who would act as court registrar.
		July 1856, AucklandÂ’s provisional superintendent, John Logan Campbell, bowing to civic and Queen Street business interests whom had labeled the town jail Â“A blot on the finest street in New ZealandÂ”, declared by proclamation that the Stockade would henceforth be known as the new Auckland prison.
		I would therefore propose that an establishment be instituted at the Chatham Islands/ There the convicts might be most profitably employed in the cultivation of potatoes, wheat and other farm produce for the New Zealand market.

		His action makes a liar of both the New Zealand Governor General and Attorney General.
		And the Governor General is aware of them, but denying they are existing is an abomination against the New Zealand Service personnel who lost lives and were injured in war against governments who denied their citizens human rights.

	C ivil Society - rediscovering commonsense
		Claim: Because of the distance between London and New Zealand and difficulties presented when a foreign judge is asked to determine a matter outside his or her usual realm of knowledge, there can be substantial delays in the process of taking an appeal to the Privy Council.
		Currently many New Zealanders simply cannot afford to take their case to the Privy Council, but with the final right of appeal in their own country they will be able to exercise their full appeal rights.
		New Zealand is a small country and the decision makers all know each other.
