I am a barrister sole who practises in the area of civil litigation. Through this website I aim to provide information that will help you if you are: · Trying to decide whether to take legal action against somebody who has wronged you |
|
· in some way—or whether to defend legal action that someone is taking against you · A solicitor thinking of briefing a barrister, or a barrister asking a solicitor to assist with a reverse brief · Wanting specific information about particular areas of law · Wanting to obtain a protection order · Wondering whether to instruct me to act for you or your client · Interested in issues in current legal practice in New Zealand—including the intended transfer of money from the current fidelity fund to the New Zealand Law Society for its own benefit |
NZLS is helping itself to perhaps $6 million from the fidelity fund, plus keeping general reserves (currently $7 million), all for the benefit of those lawyers who choose to become ‘voluntary’ members of NZLS. The government says this is okay because NZLS says it is okay. more |
