Review of the Unit Titles Act 1972
IV. Issues
Form of Legislation
In considering the future of the Unit Titles Act, one issue that is raised is the form the legislation should take. New Zealand has one act dealing with all matters relating to unit titles. Other jurisdictions commonly divide the legislation into two separate enactments. One deals with the technical rules relating to the creation of unit titles and their administration from a land law point of view. The other deals with bodies corporate, their constitutions, and the management and administration of the body corporate and the unit development.
Question
