| 2017 | Conference: The Land Transfer Act 2017: New Horizons for the Torrens System [Auckland 30-31 August 2018] | $ 24,000.00 |
| Description | Funding for a major international conference on the new Land Transfer Act 2017 (NZ) that will apply from later in 2018 and subsequently to produce a book of edited papers.

The modern automated system of land registration is fully incorporated in the Act, and other important changes to principles such as indefeasibility of title, State guarantee, and the availability of compensation are made. A major reform is a discretion for the courts to override indefeasibility of title in appropriate cases.
These changes are important in the practice of property law, and judicial decision-making. The reforms will also provide a useful model to law-makers in other Torrens jurisdictions. The conference will provide a unique and authoritative forum for description, analysis and discussion of these many reforms. | | Applicant: | Mr David Grinlinton | | Organisation: | Faculty of Law, University of Auckland |

| 2017 | Symposium: The Future of Class Actions [Auckland 13-15 March 2018] | $ 20,000.00 |
| Description | This project is about encouraging and influencing class action legislative reform in New Zealand. The current law relating to class actions in New Zealand is significantly under developed when compared to other jurisdictions. The lack of legislative guidance on class action litigation is problematic to the judiciary, practitioners and, most importantly, class action parties in a climate where class action litigation is increasing. The need for legislative intervention has been widely discussed. The Class Actions Bill 2008 was drafted to meet stakeholders' needs. However, the Bill was never enacted. A decade has passed. The needs of class action stakeholders have become more acute. As a result, this is an advantageous time for research to be produced encouraging and commenting on legislative development and reform of class actions in New Zealand. The purpose of the project is to facilitate discussion between academics, practitioners, the judiciary and the government regarding reform. | | Applicant: | Miss Nicole (Nikki) Allyson Chamberlain | | Organisation: | Faculty of Law, University of Auckland |
