An Unsettled History squarely confronts the issues arising from the Treaty of Waitangi in New Zealand today. Alan Ward writes lucidly about the Treaty claims process, about settlements made, and those to come. New Zealand’s short history unquestionably reveals a treaty made and then repeatedly breached. This is a compelling case – for fair and reasonable settlement, and for the rigorous continuation of the Treaty claims process through the Waitangi Tribunal. The impact of the past upon the present has rarely been analysed so clearly, or to such immediate purpose.

"Selling a business isn't a transaction. It is the start of the next stage of you and your spouse's life. It is the wealth that will help you achieve a successful retirement. And yet 4 out of 5 businesses do not sell. Of those that do sell, 75% of business owners profoundly regret their exit 12 months later. The business sale process is broken. Not just in New Zealand but around the world. In the US, a new process has been developed called exit planning. This process maximises the business value, and financially and personally prepares the business owner and family for retirement. This book applies this Exit Planning Institute process to NZ business. It has two parts: 1) Exit Planning that prepares the business for sale; and 2) The business sale process. It also explains Valuation and the other Exit Options including Management Buyout, Family Transfer, Private Equity and Recapitalisation. It is the book every business owner should read before they exit their business."--Publisher description.

The term corporate law refers to the laws relating to corporations and their business activities in general. In the New Zealand context this includes the life-cycle of a corporation under the Companies Act 1993 and the effect of other regulatory frameworks such as the Receiverships Act 1993, the Takeovers Act 1993 and the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. Corporate Law in New Zealand is a modern, fresh analysis of corporate law in New Zealand that places New Zealand corporations in their historical, current and international context. Key chapters include the impact of the theory of the company on New Zealand corporate law, the nature of corporate enterprise in New Zealand, Maori/iwi companies, directors duties, shareholders rights, corporate financing, corporate insolvency, relevant financial markets law, and takeovers, amalgamations and arrangements. Selected content is drawn from the Company and Securities Law in New Zealand treatise and has been updated, reworked and significantly expanded to embrace developments in company and corporate law.

This new edition of Duties and Responsibilities of Directors and Company Secretaries in New Zealand sets out in a clear and concise manner the duties imposed by law on directors and includes new commentary on the evolution of the interpretation by the courts and the regulators of these matters. Comprehensive indexes, cases and statute tables ensure relevant information is easily located.

"The Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840 by over 500 chiefs, and by William Hobson, representing the British Crown. To the British it was the means by which they gained sovereignty over New Zealand. But to Maori people it had a very different significance, and they are still affected by the terms of the Treaty, often adversely.The Treaty of Waitangi, the first comprehensive study of the Treaty, deals with its place in New Zealand history from its making to the present day. The story covers the several Treaty signings and the substantial differences between Maori and English texts; the debate over interpretation of land rights and the actions of settler governments determined to circumvent Treaty guarantees; the wars of sovereignty in the 1860s and the longstanding Maori struggle to secure a degree of autonomy and control over resources." --Publisher.
