What cases can I expect to find on NZLII and what is probably not there?

Check out the database listing page for a range of dates associated with each database.

For many, the coverage may be poor for the earlier years listed. For the major Court databases - Supreme, Appeal, High, Māori Appellate, Māori Land - more complete coverage starts mid-2000s. For the Employment Court, Environment Court, ACC appeals to the District Court, Employment Relations we have almost complete coverage*

*Recently the ACC appeals to the District Court have been harder to obtain from the Ministry of Justice and more gaps are appearing.
