If someone has wronged you or not paid you, don't leave it too long or you will miss out
This may be something you can share with a friend - if someone owes them money and refuses to pay, they need to start any court proceedings ASAP and definitely within six years.
It's the same in the Disputes Tribunal.
If someone has cheated them, or wronged them, the time limit may vary and they should get legal advice sooner rather than later. (Time limits vary depending on the exact legal issues.)
At least find out when the time limit expires, or if it's something where any delay will weaken the claim.
(As well as the limits set by law, there is also the practical issue that it's harder to find someone and other creditors may get in first in the meantime.)
(Posting this as helpful information, not trying to win business. Kiwilaw can advise you and help you bring (or defend) your own tribunal or court claim. At least for this year, we don't want to provide full representation where we do all the work and appear in court - please use other lawyers for that.)
Poll: Would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? 🌿🐦
Canterbury, you have a hidden treasure right on your doorstep ... though it does come with a 1.5-hour walk up the stunning Rakaia Gorge Walkway.
Along the trail you’ll find The Fantail Shop showcasing small artworks by local artisans. Even better, every purchase supports the Fantail Trust, helping protect and restore biodiversity on the north bank of the gorge.
So we’re curious: would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? (And for local biodiversity, of course 🌿)

Those tips on how to manage your money
It annoys a lot. I just did a bank quiz on financial well-being. The main problem is with that is they don't account for being on a pension, which supposedly accounts for extra disability costs. What comes in never quite meets what goes out. That unpaid week until next payday is quite a stretch sometimes. My home is paid for, but those bills I must meet, rates, insurances, power, and internet costs keep going up. I just discovered my phone is an expensive rip-off, a clone or copy of an S24Ultra, with no comeback now, so I either put up with it or lash out $600 or more on another, sheheit! BTW, I got a pretty good score on that quiz. The only extra bit of money I make is a little interest, but the IRS taxes the hell out of that.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.
