Commercial Quarterly

Welcome to the Spring 2007 issue of Commercial Quarterly, Bell Gully's digest of current corporate and commercial law issues.

Each quarter we preview upcoming developments and summarise recent cases, articles and legislation of interest.

In this issue, feature articles include:

• Best, reasonable and all reasonable endeavours: what are you agreeing to do?
• Giving notice of an amalgamation to secured creditors: every man and his dog?

• Government announces commencement date for new securities law
• Local Loop Unbundling process completed

A companion publication, Regulator Report, covers developments in the corporate and regulatory sector (New Zealand and Australian exchanges, securities markets regulators, and takeovers and competition regulators) and is published approximately every three weeks.
