Did you know that in several Westlaw NZ databases there are comparative tables?

These provide a useful comparison of legislation versions eg the old District Courts Rules with the current District Rules (see diagram):

Click on the title for the comparative table you want to look at. A screen similar to the one below will appear, in which you will see a list of sections for both the old and the new legislation, with links to each of them.
