APPENDIX TWO CURRENT WORK PROGRAMME Review of Customs Powers of Forfeiture & Seizure    This project is reviewing the forfeiture provisions under Part XIV of the Customs and Excise Act 1996, having regard to any analogous border control practices in comparable jurisdictions.  Publication planned for October 2005. Maori Legal Entities   This   project   is   seeking   to   develop   a   new   legal   framework   that   would,   if implemented, be available to Mäori groups wishing to incorporate for the purpose of managing communally-owned assets and giving effect to communal rights and responsibilities on behalf of the members of the group.  Publication planned for early 2006. Entry, Search and Seizure    This  project  is  reviewing  the  scope  and  adequacy  of  current  powers  to  search (persons,  places  and  vehicles)  and  to  seize  relevant  items.  It  also  considers  the search and seizure of computer data, interception of communications, tracking and visual  and  audio  surveillance.  It  is  seeking  an  appropriate  balance  between  law enforcement powers and the protection of individual rights in relation to all such powers.  Publication planned for April 2006. Access to Court Records   This  project  is  reviewing  existing  rules  providing  access  to  Court  records  and developing   principles   to   govern   access   to   Court   and   Tribunal   records,   the retention and archiving of records. It is considering the appropriateness of a single code providing rules for all jurisdictions.  Publication planned for April 2006. Custom and Human Rights in the Pacific   This  project  explores  the  interaction  between  custom  and  human  rights  in  the Pacific, including New Zealand, by articulating some of the issues arising from this interaction and how the two can inform each other.  Publication planned for May 2006. Criminal Defences (Insanity & Partial Defences)   This  project  is  undertaking  further  work  on  the  defences  of  provocation  and diminished   responsibility,   following   the   Commission's   earlier   report   Some Criminal  Defences  with  Particular  Reference  to  Battered  Defendants  (NZLC R73).   It   is   also   reviewing   the   defences   of   insanity   and   infanticide.      First publication planned for April 2006.
