| 388083 | 2005-09-13 03:50:00 | Hey, Anyone know where I could download statutes, regulations etc as pdf (or any other format really) files. I know that legislation.govt.nz has them all but they're in divided up html pages. Cheers, Ash |

It looks like all you can do is browse statutes as you say, rather than download them, unless you subscribe to a paid service such as Brookers, or: www.knowledge-basket.co.nz or http://www.gplegislation.co.nz/ If you don't need the actual legislation and other information would be satisfactory for your purposes, you could try: http://www.lawaccess.lsa.govt.nz/ I am not sure what you can get from this paid website, but you may want to look at it: www.lexisnexis.com.au Please post back if you can find a source for downloading whole statutes free!

| 388086 | 2005-09-13 04:31:00 | If you can see them in your browser you have downloaded them. ;) Just "Save As" the files. It might be a bit messy doing it clause by clause, so there ought to be a better way. What about a Web Spider ... there must be plenty of those around. | Graham L (2) | ||

| 388088 | 2005-09-13 04:47:00 | www.legislation.govt.nz try that enjoy Yeah, thanks, but that is the site quoted by Ash in his original post. You can browse the statutes on that site, but you can't download them as files as he wants (me to!). As Graham L says, you can use that method, but each statute is broken up into so many small bits on that site, it would be MUCH more than messy. It just isn't an option unless you only want a section of the statute. |

| 388089 | 2005-09-13 04:47:00 | The publishers that supply online legistlation (Brookers Lexus/Nexus etc) do it for a fee. That is how they make their money. Access is usually by paid subscription. The Public Access to Legislation site at legislation.govt.nz is hosted by Brookers and is only the "raw" legislation i.e. no commentary, editorial/history notes, or other value add goodies that the paid services have. There's nowhere else to get free NZ legislation that I know of. Besides, legislation changes so often that any stuff you download would quickly go out of date. |

| 388090 | 2005-09-13 04:48:00 | Yes, well, Dave, that's where Ash has been looking at them. ;) "web spider download" to Google provides some candidates. |

| 388091 | 2005-09-13 10:28:00 | opps!!! what do you need these statutes for? Why don't you just goto the local university law library and see what they have to say. Librarians are scary but very useful. |

| 388092 | 2005-09-14 02:38:00 | We pay a stack of money to Lexisnexus every month for access to statutes and legal reports. I'm not sure we can even download a PDF version from there - never tried. We also pay another stack of money annually for books of statutes which I gotta tell you are a lot more user friendly. | Winston001 (3612) | ||
