ComplyWith / ILANZ Webinar: Lessons for legal compliance from the Gibson case

The landmark decision in Maritime NZ v Gibson gives us valuable insights into what good legal compliance should look like in 2025 and beyond.

At the heart of the Gibson case was section 44 of the Health and Safety at Work Act which is all about officers exercising due diligence to ensure their organisations comply with their health and safety legal obligations.

Learn how the findings in Gibson:

  • apply directly to ensuring a lot more than just the HSW Act is being complied with
  • will influence how other duties to ensure legislation is complied with are interpreted
  • give us valuable insights into judicial expectations of what good legal compliance should include, and how these are consistent with other good-practice expectations

Whether your organisation has a mature legal compliance system that may just need some fine-tuning following Gibson, or it’s at the start of its legal compliance journey, or somewhere in-between, this webinar will give you useful and actionable insights and guidance.
