The first (and principal) part sets out the general theory and principles and how these apply in a public law context in particular. It concludes with a brief discussion of the Crown’s consultation obligations under the Treaty of Waitangi.

The second and third parts set out in general terms the requirements of consultation under the Local Government Act 2002 and the Employment Relations Act 2000.

The final part provides some guidance on best practice. It:
