Auckland District Law Society

Auckland District Law Society

The Auckland District Law Society is the professional body for barristers and solicitors practising in the Auckland region of New Zealand. It operates in conjunction with the New Zealand Law Society and was established in 1879. Membership is compulsory in accordance with the Law Practitioners Act 1982.

In 2003 the Privy Council wrote the following concluding comments with respect to the Auckland District Law Society:

“Their Lordships are not disposed to leave this case without expressing their dismay that a professional body representing solicitors, who have the most solemn professional obligation to honour their undertakings, should have seen fit to argue that it was free to disregard the obligations which Mr Ennor undertook on its behalf. The Society may wish to consider whether the most honourable course would be for it to return the documents without an order requiring it to do so.” [ [http://www.privy-council.org.uk/files/other/b%20and%20others.rtf Privy Council Appeal No. 34 of 2002] , (1) B and Others and, (2) Russell McVeagh McKenzie Bartleet & Co. (Appellants), v. (1) Auckland District Law Society and, (2) Gary J. Judd (Respondents). Paragraph 74, 'Conclusion'.]
