Arbitrators' Institute of New Zealand Inc v Legal Services Board [1995] 2 NZLR 202
1995


Commonwealth, Legal Aid
(New Zealand) A dispute had been referred to arbitration, and the question was whether a private arbitrator was a "judicial authority". Held: In their natural and ordinary meaning those words referred to a person or body: "… having power to judge a matter before it, which power is derived from the state." After a lengthy examination of the statutory context and its legislative history, the judge concluded that a private arbitrator, whose authority derived from the consent of the parties and not from the state, was not a "judicial authority" within the meaning of the subparagraph.

Legal Aid
An assignment of a cause of action in order to be eligible to apply for Legal Aid is not against public policy. An assignment of a cause of action was not invalid solely on the ground that its purpose was to enable the action to be prosecuted on terms that the company would benefit from success. There was no jurisdiction to make an order for security for costs against Mr and Mrs Rodgers (who had taken the assignment from Norglen Ltd) and it would not in the circumstances be right to make an order against Norglen, which was dropping out of the action.
