THE COMMERCE COMMISSION V AIR NEW ZEALAND [2011] NZCA 64. Size: 151.0 kB.
Document Description: This paper examines a recent challenge to the Commerce Commission’s power to impose non-disclosure orders under the Commerce Act 1986. Argument before the Court claimed the orders unduly infringed on the NZBORA right to justice and freedom of expression. While the paper endorses the final result reached by the Court, it suggests that the treatment of freedom of expression raises questions about the robustness of rights protection in New Zealand.
