Congratulations to Sue Lloyd who uploaded the 300,000th decision to NZLII last night!!

This is a major milestone for NZLII so it is fitting that the UC Library uploaded this decision as we’ve added a significant amount of material over the last few years. Adding material to NZLII makes legal decisions more accessible to our students, staff and the NZ legal community.

Sue, Beth and I have made a slow start to organise and upload decisions from the Employment Tribunal which will continue over the summer.

*update*

Here is the media release from NZLII this morning:

Sue from Canterbury has added the 300, 000th document to NZLII

To put this in perspective – NZLII is 12 years old (started November 2004), the 200,000^th document (a Gazette law Report decision) was loaded on 21 January 2016, 22 September 2014 the 150^, 000^th document was added to the system – so a rapid increase this year (thanks largely to the Regulations as Made and Historical Bills which make up 50,000 of the new documents – but there are 52,000 new case law documents as well (which is massive).

So a big thanks to Sue (and Beth and Caroline from Canterbury), and Rosemary Wilson who has loaded over 10,000 decisions herself this year.

Thank you everybody for your support.

(And if anybody really wants to know, by my calculations – this is document number 300,000 – http://www.nzlii.org/nz/cases/NZEmpT/2002/85.html )
