Public Law
The Law Commission is undertaking this project in conjunction with the Parliamentary Counsel Office. The project involves the Commission investigating and recommending methods of making New Zealand Statute Law more accessible. In September 2007, the Law Commission released an Issues Paper, Presentation of New Zealand Statute Law (www.lawcom.govt.nz/ProjectMiscellaneousPaper.aspx?ProjectID=132), produced in conjunction with the Parliamentary Counsel Office. The Issues Paper investigates and suggests a range of methods of achieving greater accessibility. Among the solutions discussed are the introduction of a subject index and a systematic revision of the New Zealand statutes. Following consultation and public submissions, a final Report is being produced, which will be released before the end of 2008.
