Can anyone down that way get an image of the Supreme Court building that is currrenly been used Brian | (Talk) 23:27, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
- They're currently using part of the (new) Wellington High Court. The old High Court (next to the Law School) is to be used as the Supreme Court sometime in the future. --Lholden 01:19, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Brian - Yeah, interesting because the new UK Supreme Court will surely be sitting soon... --Lholden 01:43, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Not clear - number of judges
The article talks about the appointment of a 6th permanent judge and then another. It's not particularly but I assume that these judges were to replace existing judges who stepped down? Or does the court now have 6 or 7 judges? Nil Einne 08:15, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Legal profession opposition?
Can we cite sources for the claim that the legal profession generally opposed the creation of the Supreme Court? I'm looking at the New Zealand Law Society's submission on the Supreme Court Bill [1] and it doesn't have that sense. It's more like, if you're going to drop the Privy Council, it should be replaced with a quality Supreme Court, and here are some ideas for making it good quality. --Tirana 02:22, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
- I think the statement is accurate, although finding a source maybe difficult, as most opposition is anecdotal. I think the NZLS position wasn't that well supported by lawyers either, although I personally agree with it. --Lholden 02:49, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
