The Principal Judge John Bollard Lifetime Commemorative Award
Professor Peter Skelton, Lincoln University
It is a great honour for me to have been asked to make this first presentation of the Principal Judge John Bollard Lifetime Award. John and I were close judicial colleagues for about 12 years until I retired from the Environment Court in 2000 but our friendship and our mutual interest in resource management law and practice continued until his untimely death in April last year.
