When should the law treat two people as a couple? What property should they share if they break up and what property should only belong to one of them?
New Zealand has changed a lot in the last forty years, including how relationships and families are formed, how they function and what happens when relationships end.
The Law Commission is reviewing the 40-year-old Property (Relationships) Act 1976, which sets the rules for how to divide a couple’s property at the end of a relationship, and they want to hear your views.
The Law Commission has developed a paper, Dividing Relationship Property: Time for Change? - Te mātaatoha rawa tokorau – Kua eke te wā? This paper asks New Zealanders how the law could be better. You can view the Issues Paper and summary document, and access online consultation platform, from 16 October on this website.
A series of public meetings is being held around the country. Members of the Law Commission will be available to answer your questions and hear your feedback on the Issues Paper.
Some of the questions the Commission is asking are:
Does the law apply to the right relationships?
Is the right property being shared?
What should happen when trusts are used to hold property?
What should happen if one person is financially worse-off after their relationship ends?
Is tikanga Māori recognised?
How should the law meet the interests of children?
How can the law be inexpensive, simple and speedy while still being just?
Should the same law that applies when a couple separates also apply when one partner dies?

I switched away from Flick over Winter to ECOTRICITY. After 2 ridiculously large accounts from Ecotricity I switched back to Flick and wish I had never changed. Even over Winter with presumably high Spot prices I believe there would have been big savings.

After 2 ridiculously large accounts from Ecotricity I switched back to Flick and wish I had never changed. Even over Winter with presumably high Spot prices I believe there would have been big savings.
Here is a copy of part of an email conversation with Ecotricity. "...my Flick account has ...7 days usage at a charge of $33.43 (daily abt-$5)
This contrasts my current Ecotricity acct of $240.70 for 17 days service- approximately 3 times Flick's charge.
Prior to changing to Ecotricity my average monthly charges averaged $220. 2 months of Ecotricity bllls approximate $1440.(daily abt $17)
Costs/time period are not strictly comparable as (.your supply..) was during Winter whereas the Flick acct was for supply at the end of Winter and into Spring but the differences are too striking for season to be the sole explanation."
To their credit Ecotricity had the courtesy to reply in full to my complaint but their explanation for the huge price disparity basically boiled down to " We charged you so much more because Flick is a lot cheaper than Ecotricity"
I have a large section in Phillipstown and would love to have some hives. Does anyone know of anyone who manages hives and gives you a portion of the honey?
