[edit] Statute of Westminister Adoption Act 1947

I have removed this Act from 'Sources of Constitutional Law' because it was repealed by the Constitution Act 1986, see second schedule. This Act should really be part of a history section on this page, which I am currently drafting.----Lholden 22:43, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Letters Patent of 1983

I'd like to explain this edit:

  • The LP of 1983 has no actual title. It is just described as the "Letters Patent constituting the office of Governor-General of New Zealand", and it is just a description, not a proper noun.
  • LPs are instruments in a class of their own, to be differentiated from Warrants and other such royal writings. They all contain the phrase "We have caused these Our Letters to be made Patent". E.g. Charter of the BBC are Letters Patent.

I'm sure that those editing the article will know this already—this is for the benefit of passers-by.

[edit] Report of the Constitutional Arrangements Committee

The link for the Report of the Constitutional Arrangements Committee is dead, does anyone have a copy elsewhere, if not, we'll have to remove the link Brian | (Talk) 03:34, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Don't know what the original looked like but is this it? r2b2 05:08, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Yeah I was looking for that. --Lholden 22:15, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Zealand House of Representatives

New Zealand House of Representatives is now a seperate article from New Zealand Parliament. can people who look at this page have a look and improve them both to show the full consitutional nature of the split? --Midnighttonight 04:47, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fitzgerald v Muldoon and Others (1976)

Can info be added on the Fitzgerald v Muldoon and Others (1976) case? currently, I am busy writing a research paper, so I can't do major edits, but in the course of the paper I am refering to this case, and thought Wikipedia could help me (although I would never reference wikipedia...), but alas it cannot. --Midnighttonight 09:12, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

I'll write something nup. It's a pretty important case.--Lholden 22:55, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
