-
- Education
On today’s episode of the Law Down Under Podcast, we interview former lawyer and current member of Parliament, Dr Duncan Webb. Duncan has served as the MP for Christchurch Central since 2017. As a former insurance lawyer and Professor of Law, Duncan has also worked for the Public Interest Project, which seeks to free innocent people from jail, and the Howard League, an organisation that advocates for prison reform.
Duncan serves as the Deputy Shadow Leader of the House, a Member of the Justice Committee, and the Co-Chairperson of the New Zealand, Middle East and Africa Inter-Parliamentary Friendship Group. He is also the Labour Party Spokesperson for Christchurch Issues, Justice, the Earthquake Commission, and Regulation.
In this episode, we discuss Duncan’s bill, “The Insurance Contracts Bill,” which was drawn from the members’ ballot bill biscuit tin in Parliament. Duncan’s bill aims to modernize insurance laws in New Zealand, making insurance contracts fairer and clearer for consumers. We talk with Duncan about how the bill rectifies several issues in our existing insurance law framework and brings much-needed reform to the industry. I hope you enjoy this episode with the Hon Dr Duncan Webb.
