THINKING OUTSIDE THE SQUARE

“...thought-provoking and topical subjects

property lawyer”

PROPERTY LAW

CONFERENCE

FROM THE CHAIR

This year’s conference in June will contain many thought-provoking and topical subjects

essential for the day-to-day practice of property lawyers throughout New Zealand. The

conference committee have looked at the property landscape and identified some key

matters relating to statutory changes and practice that will impact on the day to day lives of

property lawyers in 2016 and beyond. This conference is going to be essential in addressing

some of those issues.

We have included in the conference presentations covering:

• the forthcoming changes to the property tax legislation

• matters concerning the standard agreement for sale and purchase and how that is

going to be impacted on by various statutory and other changes

• the forthcoming changes to the health and safety legislation

• topical matters such as the increasing predominance of houses effected by P labs.

In addition, there will be sessions on more general themes, such as first home buyer

packages and Kiwisaver, OIA legislation, building and construction issues, the paperless

office, plain English drafting, technology for property lawyers, an address on the economic

outlook for 2016 and 2017 and a session on mindfulness at work.

The conference will have two breakout sessions each day, giving you three choices on each

occasion, with a variety of different topics delivered in a discrete and short timeframe.

We also welcome and thank ASB for kindly sponsoring this event, and part of this

sponsorship will see two delegates receive a 50% refund of their registration fee.*

I am confident that the broad ranging programme delivered by a range of excellent speakers

will attract a great deal of interest in 2016.

I welcome you and your teams to register for the conference. See you all in Auckland in

June!

BREAKOUT 4: A, B OR C

A –Tenanted House or “P-Lab”?

|

Paul Parker & Lucy Smith

Hobsonville Land Company, a subsidiary of Housing NZ, re-developed the former Hobsonville Air Base in Auckland for housing purposes and in this capacity acquired from NZ Defence Force from 2010-2013 some 300 former RNZAF staff houses . Many of these have been

retained and rented on the open market for some years and in 2015 it was found that one such tenanted house had been a “P Lab” . HLC has consequently been testing all of these houses for Methamphetamine contamination, with several of them showing positive results; and is now considering future options for such houses .

B –Signatures, Identity and Document Security in the Digital Environment

|

Mike Eyal

As working online becomes the new normal, customers will expect to do business with you online . Those who don’t make the change will be the break in the digital chain .

Transition workarounds like print, post, sign and scan to capture signatures are insecure and cost you time and money . Your clients will want to complete paperwork online and sign securely in electronic format . Using Digital Signature technology, electronic documents can be signed securely with objective validation of document integrity and signatory’s identity . Digital signatures cannot be forged or copied and any change to the document will invalidate the signature .

C –Occupation Right Agreements - a fresh look

|

Katherine Wilmott

With the increase in the popularity of Occupation Right Agreements Katherine will have a fresh look at the ORA . This will include the advantages and disadvantages to clients, the lawyer’s responsibility to the client, calculating those scary figures, dealing with the families of clients, and also what happens when a family trust is involved .
