The Commission's latest report, Presentation of New Zealand Statute Law (NZLC R104, Wellington 2008) discusses the problem of access to New Zealand Acts of Parliament. It notes that the law is often difficult to find, and difficult to understand when it has been found. The report recommends that an index of Acts of Parliament be produced; that there be a programme to rewrite and revise old Acts so as to make them easier to understand; and that dead wood be repealed.
