Many contracts confer discretions or powers that can significantly affect parties’ rights and obligations - and they are a frequent source of dispute.

Join Tom Ashley, Eldon Chambers, for our upcoming webinar, Contractual Discretion – Principles and Practice, where he will examine leading New Zealand and UK decisions and explore how courts approach the exercise of contractual discretions and powers.

The session will also cover practical drafting strategies to help reduce uncertainty and manage risk.

Join us for an upcoming CPD webinar on Property Agreement Cancellation – Getting It Right (and Avoiding Professional Exposure).

While settlement is the goal, not all property transactions make it to completion. Cancellation is often treated as routine, but in practice, it involves specific legal and procedural steps that can carry significant risk if handled incorrectly.

Presented by Ksh*tij Tiwari, Director, Jury Law Limited, this session will provide practical, real-world guidance on:

• When cancellation is available
• How to correctly apply the TLANZ-REINZ Agreement and the Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017
• Key risk areas for both clients and practitioners
• A structured framework for advising clients through cancellation scenarios
