Parliament passes Trans-Tasman Proceedings Bill

The Australian Parliament has passed legislation to make trans-Tasman litigation simpler, cheaper and more efficient. The Trans-Tasman Proceedings Bill 2009 implements a treaty between Australia and New Zealand signed in 2008 and will allow judgments to be registered and enforced between Australia and New Zealand; fines imposed in one country to be enforced in the other; court appearances by video-link from one country to the other; and the enforcement of regulatory regimes supporting trans-Tasman markets.
