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 key Auckland case law from the last couple of years, including issues such as the primacy of mana whenua status, climate change, construction and noise, and development outside the rural urban boundary of the Auckland Unitary Plan.
