Research & Analysis
Researchers at the University of Waikato have developed a best-practice model for designing transport regulations. The New Zealand Transport Agency commissioned the model, in order to guide the design of smarter, fit-for purpose legislation.
The researchers used Hansard Society’s Good Law Project methodology to analyse existing local and international regulatory management and legislative design, along with historical context of New Zealand’s legal system and to apply this analysis to the design of a new model.
