If someone has wronged you or not paid you, don't leave it too long or you will miss out

Director / lawyer from Kiwilaw

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.)

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
