New Zealand: sections of city by-law effectively prohibiting small owner-operated brothels struck down.
On 29 July 2005, the High Court of New Zealand decided the first case testing the scope of the by-law-making power given to cities under the Prostitution Law Reform Act 2003 (the PRA). The Court struck down the sections of a Christchurch by-law confining brothels to a defined area within the city's central business district.
