We'd like to welcome our newest team member - Clark Samuel!

Originally from Auckland, Clark moved to Wellington to study law, then went into Wellington's biggest industry - government policy.

Clark tells us he plays underwater hockey, however, he is yet to convince us this is a real sport.

Clark is a qualified lawyer who is currently learning the ropes and working on a number of property transactions. As the guy sitting closest to the front door, you'll likely be greeted by Clark when you arrive at the Wellington office, so please say hi!

Our office will be closed next Monday, 26 September 2022.

As this is a one-off holiday, is still a ‘working day’ in contracts such as the standard ADLS Agreements for Sale and Purchase.

It will obviously not be possible to settle on this day, as banks (and lawyers’ offices) will be closed. It may also cause some problems for calculating and confirming conditions.

If you are entering into a contract in the next couple of weeks, we suggest including an extra clause in the Further Terms:

“The parties agree that clause 1.1(38) shall be amended by including Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Day, and it is acknowledged that this day will be 26 September 2022.”

It’s (hopefully) second nature to you. You. Must. Have. A. Signed. Agency. Agreement. But some Auckland agents have just learned that lesson the hard way – being denied their commission on a large lease deal in a recent Court of Appeal decision.

Just a reminder from us, Friday 24 June is the first observation of the new public holiday for Matariki.

For some reason, in their last update of the ADLS/REINZ Agreement for Sale and Purchase, ADLS, in all their wisdom, did not include reference to the new holiday. This means, that technically, under the current version, Friday 24 June is still a ‘working day’.

So, agents, clients, and colleagues, please remember to add in an extra clause clarifying that "24 June 2022 is not a working day" - as we do NOT want to be working on a holiday!
