Decisions of the Environment Court, District Court, High Court and Court of Appeal pervade the practice of those working in the resource management and planning fields. Case law is literally developing on a daily basis. Keeping abreast of recent changes to law from the Courts is an essential part of any practitioner’s knowledge base. This seminar will cover essential ‘must know’ case law from recent years, focusing on resource consents and plan changes under the RMA.
Learning Outcomes:
"I would recommend the Caselaw Update for anyone wishing to
keep up-to-date on key decisions of the Environment and High Courts, across a
range of procedural and topic areas. Also a great opportunity to ask
questions on current RMA issues, including up-coming changes to resource
management and environmental law."- Nicola Rykers
