“We are honoured to take on this responsibility from the Domain Name Commission and are dedicated to providing an enhanced scheme to the Domain Name Commission for the benefit of all stakeholders,” said Michael Jamieson, Manager – Commercial of NZDRC.

“As New Zealand’s digital landscape evolves, the work of the Domain Name Commission is essential to ensuring a level playing field and keeping the .nz space fair for everyone. The transition has involved a refresh of the scheme’s rules including a tikanga-based option and accessibility options. Stakeholders have been consulted and encouraged to participate in this process to ensure the scheme meets their needs.”

“We are thrilled that the NZDRC will administer the .nz Dispute Resolution Scheme. We want to ensure .nz is world-class, and we have chosen the NZDRC based on their extensive experience and established presence in the market.

UK Supreme Court returns to orthodox liquidated damages approach

The UK Supreme Court in its recent judgment in Triple Point Technology v PTT Public Company[1] has brought welcome clarity in relation to the drafting and interpretation of liquidated damages clauses[2] in construction, commercial and technology contracts. The judgment also deals with the relationship between liquidated damages clauses and caps on liability. We summarise the judgment and provide some key points for drafting liquidated damages clauses and related caps on liability.

Wilful Breaches of Contract – Do Exclusion Clauses and Liability Caps Still Work?

Can deliberate or wilful contract breaches still benefit from clauses that limit or exclude liability? The English High Court recently considered this issue in Mott Macdonald Ltd v Trant Engineering Ltd,[1] which confirmed that clauses limiting or excluding liability for claims will be given effect on their plain and ordinary meaning. If any limitation or exclusion is not intended to apply to a deliberate or wilful action, clear wording to that effect is required.

Ten years in a leaky boat: Lucky just to keep afloat

In 1982 Split Enz released its now famous single Six Months in a Leaky Boat being a reference to the time it took pioneers to sail to New Zealand (it had nothing at all to do with being an attack on Britain’s invasion of the Falkland Islands which caused the BBC to discourage airplay of the song in Britain during the Falklands War – it was recorded in January 1982, months before the Falklands invasion). It has also been suggested that the lyrics are a metaphor for a relationship that could not be, the need to put our differences behind us and that there is a world to explore after ’the ship-wreck’, and to keep on trying where there’s wind in our sails. Neil Finn’s lyrics and the sentiment embodied in the song provide a strikingly apposite segue into the relationship property story that follows.
