This volume of essays celebrates the first 50 years in the life of
the New Zealand Court of Appeal. The move, in 1958, to a Court of
Appeal comprising permanent appellate judges was an important
landmark in the development of New Zealand law. The chapters
highlight areas where the Court of Appeal has made a significant
contribution to New Zealand and wider Commonwealth law, showing how
the Court's jurisprudence has both reflected and contributed to
resolving some of the pressing issues of the times.They are a
critical reflection on the changing work and achievements of the
permanent Court over the past half-century. In addition to
recording the perspectives of a former President on the Court's
achievements, the essays in this volume deal with such varied
topics as: the role and use of precedent by the Court of Appeal;
the Court's contribution to Commonwealth administrative law;
criminal appeals; relationship property; accident compensation and
tort litigation; company law; equity in commercial dealings; and
the rights of Maori, the indigenous people of New Zealand.
