New Zealand Legislation: Regulations
Regulations are laws made under Acts
This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.
These regulations, which come into force on 1 August 2008, provide for the appointment of Senior Counsel and related matters. Those matters include the declaration to be made by Senior Counsel on appointment and the fees payable by an applicant for appointment as Senior Counsel. The regulations provide that Senior Counsel may act as counsel for any person against the Crown except proceedings in respect of which a general or special retainer is delivered to the Senior Counsel for or on behalf of the Crown. This also continues to apply to existing Queen's Counsel. The Queen's Counsel Regulations 1987 are revoked.
