No, we are no longer able to support Pay Per View feature in Westlaw NZ. If you wish to opt in for Pay Per View for New Zealand content, please contact your Account Manager to discuss an option to switch your subscriptions to New Westlaw New Zealand.
If you notice that users in your organisation are accessing the same PPV content on a regular basis, please contact your Account Manager to discuss if an annual subscription might be more cost effective.
The PPV feature will be automatically available on Thomson Reuters Westlaw, Westlaw UK and and New Westlaw NZ. If you wish to block access to PPV, please contact Customer Care on 0800 10 60 60 or email us via care.anz@thomsonreuters.com
Most international products are available via Pay Per View. There are some exceptions though. When you click on a document with the 'out of plan' sash, a pop up will appear stating that either "the content is not authorised under your subscription agreement" or "you will need to contact your Account Manager to access this content". Depending on commercial and geographical content restrictions, ANZ based users may or may not be able to subscribe to these products.
If you have more questions, please contact Customer Care via care.anz@thomsonreuters.com.
Some examples are listed as below:
A few examples of warning messages when you can't access content by PPV.
How long do I have access to a document?
A user can access the same non-PDF document within the same session (ie; staying logged into their platform) as many times as they would like.
What if I log out and end my session?
Once the session has ended, the user has the ability to access most documents from within their History tab (located on the top bar of your platform for Westlaw UK, TR Westlaw and New Westlaw ANZ) until 5:00 AM NZST. For more information on using the History function, click here.
PDFs are charged each time the user clicks on the link.
Is there any way to extend my access to a document I have accessed through PPV?
Using the save to folder function in Westlaw UK, TR Westlaw and New Westlaw ANZ will allow the user to retain access to a document for 365 days.
