Subject: Abuse of rights

In a short article to be published in the June 2008 issue of NZ Business Law Quarterly I make the case against an abuse of rights doctrine, in the context of a refusal to accept applicants for membership of sports clubs. There have been a number of New Zealand cases that have indicated a willingness to review the conduct of those with monopoly/oligopoly power, not on the basis of implication in a licensing statute or contract, but on raw common law jurisdiction. I think this an insidious development. I am happy to make the pdf available to anyone interested.

Peter.
