(2) An Order in Council under subsection (1) must identify the major event and the major event organiser.

(3) The Economic Development Minister may only make a rec- ommendation if— (a) an event organiser has applied for an event to be de-

clared to be a major event under this Act; and (b) the event activities will take place, at least in part, in

capacity and the intention to— (i) successfully and professionally stage and man-

age the event; and (ii) use all practicable measures available under the

existing law to prevent unauthorised commercial exploitation of the major event and to protect its intellectual property and other legal rights (in- cluding, for example, registering relevant trade marks).

(4) Before making a recommendation, the Economic Develop- ment Minister must take into account whether the event will— (a) attract a large number of international participants or

spectators and therefore generate significant tourism opportunities for New Zealand:

(b) significantly raise New Zealand’s international profile: (c) require a high level of professional management and

(e) attract large numbers of New Zealanders as participants or spectators:

(f) offer substantial sporting, cultural, social, economic, or other benefits for New Zealand or New Zealanders.

recommendation of the Economic Development Minister, de- clare any or all of the following: (a) an emblem to be a major event emblem: (b) a word, words if combined with other words, or a com-

bination of words to be a major event word or major event words.

(2) The Economic Development Minister may only make a rec- ommendation after consultation with— (a) the Commerce Minister; and (b) the major event organiser; and (c) persons the Minister considers are likely to be substan-

tially affected by the recommendation. (3) Before making a recommendation, the Economic Develop-

ment Minister must take into account the extent to which, in relation to the major event, emblems and words require pro- tection in order to— (a) obtain maximum benefits for New Zealanders: (b) prevent unauthorised commercial exploitation at the ex-

pense of either a major event organiser or a major event sponsor.

9 Declaration of protection period for major event (1) An Order in Council under section 8(1) must identify the rele-

vant major event and declare the protection period for the major event.

(2) The major event’s protection period need not be limited to the period when major event activities are to occur, but cannot

Reprinted as at 1 July 2012 Major Events Management Act 2007 Part 2 s 11

end later than 30 days after the completion or termination of all major event activities.

10 No representation of association with major event (1) No personmay, during amajor event’s protection period, make

any representation in a way likely to suggest to a reasonable person that there is an association between the major event and— (a) goods or services; or (b) a brand of goods or services; or (c) a person who provides goods or services.

(2) In subsection (1), a person who makes a representation in- cludes a person who— (a) pays for, commissions, or authorises the representation;

or (b) receives consideration for the placement or the location

of the representation.

Example The Football World Cup finals are to be held in New Zealand in 2007. The Football World Cup finals are declared to be a major event under section 7. Company A pays Company B to produce hats with writing on them that states “Company A—proud to bring you the 2007 Foot- ball World Cup”. Neither Company A nor Company B has the written authorisation of the major event organiser for Company A’s representation of an association between itself and the Football World Cup. Both Company A and Company B are in breach of section 10.

11 Presumption if major event emblems or words are used (1) The court may presume that a representation is in breach of

section 10 if it includes any of the following: (a) a major event emblem; or (b) a major event word or major event words; or (c) a representation that so closely resembles a major event

emblem, a major event word, or major event words as to be likely to deceive or confuse a reasonable person.

Part 2 s 12 Major Events Management Act 2007 Reprinted as at

1 July 2012

(2) Subsection (1) applies even if the representation is qualified by words like “unauthorised” or “unofficial”, or other words that are intended to defeat the purpose of section 10.

12 Exceptions to sections 10 and 11 (1) Sections 10 and 11 do not apply if—

(a) the association between the major event and the goods, services, brand of goods or services, or person who pro- vides goods or services has the written authorisation of the major event organiser; or

(b) the representation has the written authorisation of the major event organiser; or

(d) in accordance with honest practices in industrial or commercial matters, the representation— (i) is necessary to indicate the intended purpose of

goods or services; or (ii) is made by an existing organisation continuing to

carry out its ordinary activities; or (iii) is for the purposes of reporting news, informa-

tion, criticism, or a review (including promoting that news, information, criticism, or review) in a newspaper or magazine, or by means of televi- sion, radio, film, the Internet, or other means of reporting; or

(iv) in the case of a word or emblem (provided that the word or emblem is not being used in combin- ation with other words or emblems with the in- tention of suggesting an association that breaches section 10), comprises the whole or part of— (A) the proper name of any town or road or

other place in New Zealand; or (B) the legal or trade name (not being used

for the purpose of defeating the intention of this subpart) of the person making the representation; or

Reprinted as at 1 July 2012 Major Events Management Act 2007 Part 2 s 12

(2) Nothing in subsection (1)(d)(iii) authorises a person to make a representation in a way likely to suggest to a reasonable person that there is an association between news, information, criti- cism, or a review about a major event and— (a) goods or services; or (b) a brand of goods or services; or (c) a person who provides goods or services.

Examples The Football World Cup finals are to be held in New Zealand in 2007. The Football World Cup finals are declared to be a major event under section 7. All combinations of the words “Football”, “World”, and “Cup” are declared to be major event words under section 8. Example 1 TheWorld’s Best Cup Makers Limited is a New Zealand business that was established in 1982. For many years it has advertised itself with a slogan that states “Maker of cups and trophies for all sporting events, from football to synchronised swimming!” and a logo that shows a football player kicking a football. The World’s Best Cup Makers Limited continues to operate and promote itself in this way during the period when the Football World Cup finals are held in New Zealand. The World’s Best Cup Makers Limited does not have the written authorisation of the major event organiser for the use of its com- pany name, its advertising, its slogan, or its logo. This is not a breach of section 10 because of the exception in section 12(1)(d)(ii). Example 2 Daily Newspaper A produces a 20-page Football World Cup sup- plement. It contains a schedule of the games to be played during the Football World Cup finals, an explanation of the rules of foot- ball, and details about each of the teams and the players and coaches in each of those teams. The supplement also contains a lot of advertising, none of which breaches section 10. However, Company B has paid Daily Newspaper A for the right to state on the cover of the supplement “Coverage of the Football World Cup finals is brought to you by Company B”. Neither Daily Newspaper A nor Company B has the written au- thorisation of the major event organiser for Company B’s state- ment on the cover of the supplement. The content of the supplement and the advertising within it does not breach section 10 because of the exception in

Part 2 s 13 Major Events Management Act 2007 Reprinted as at

1 July 2012

Examples—continued

section 12(1)(d)(iii). However, both Daily Newspaper A and Company B are in breach of section 10 because of Company B’s statement on the cover of the supplement. Compare: 1981 No 47 s 20A(3); 2002 No 49 s 95; London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games Act 2006 Schedule 4 cl 1(2)(b) (UK)

13 Offences and penalty for breach of section 10 (1) Every person commits an offence who knowingly breaches

section 10. (2) Every person commits an offence who, knowing that a repre-

sentation that breaches section 10 has been made in relation to or applied to goods,— (a) imports those goods into New Zealand for the purpose

of trade or manufacture; or (b) sells those goods, or exposes those goods for sale; or (c) possesses those goods for the purpose of trade or manu-

facture. (3) Every person who commits an offence against subsection (1)

or (2) is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding $150,000. Compare: 2002 No 49 ss 124, 125

14 Defences to breach of section 10 (1) It is a defence to an action or a prosecution for a breach of sec-

tion 10, in relation to a representation that is an advertisement, if the defendant proves— (a) that the defendant’s business includes publishing or ar-

ranging for the publication of advertisements; and (b) that the defendant received the representation in the or-

dinary course of that business and did not know, and had no reason to believe, that publishing it would constitute a breach of section 10.

(2) This section overrides the presumption in section 11. Compare: 1981No 47 s 20AA; LondonOlympicGames and ParalympicGames Act 2006 s 21(2) (UK)

Reprinted as at 1 July 2012 Major Events Management Act 2007 Part 2 s 16

15 Registering authority must not register in certain cases (1) Despite anything about registration in any other Act, a regis-

tering authority must not register— (a) an incorporated or unincorporated body under a name

if the use by that body of that name, or of any word in that name, would breach section 10:

(b) an emblem on the application of any person if the use of that emblem by that person would breach section 10.

(2) The prohibition in subsection (1) applies only during the major event’s protection period, but also applies to any application for registration that— (a) was filed or lodged before the start of the protection

period; but (b) is not registered at the start of the protection period. Compare: 1981 No 47 s 21

Subpart 3—Ambush marketing by intrusion protections

16 Declaration of clean zones, clean transport routes, and clean periods

(1) By notice in theGazette, the Economic Development Minister may declare, in relation to a major event, either or both of the following: (a) clean zones, and the clean periods that relate to those

clean zones: (b) clean transport routes, and the clean periods that relate

to those clean transport routes. (2) Before issuing a notice, the Economic Development Minister

must take into account the extent to which, in relation to the major event, clean zones or clean transport routes, and clean periods, are required in order to— (a) obtain maximum benefits for New Zealanders: (b) prevent unauthorised commercial exploitation at the ex-

pense of either a major event organiser or a major event sponsor.

(3) A notice under subsection (1) may declare an area as a clean zone for a clean period only to the extent that— (a) the area consists of—

Part 2 s 16 Major Events Management Act 2007 Reprinted as at

1 July 2012

(i) the venue of a major event activity; and (ii) areas that are directly proximate to the area in

subparagraph (i) (for example, the adjacent foot- path, road, or other thoroughfare); and

(iii) areas that are otherwise necessary to enable the major event activity to occur; and

(b) the area does not consist of excluded land or buildings; and

(c) a major event activity is performed in the area during that clean period, although the clean period may include times before and after the major event activity that are reasonable in the circumstances.

(4) A notice under subsection (1) may declare an area as a clean transport route for a clean period only to the extent that the area— (a) extends no more than 5 kilometres from the closest

point of the boundary of a clean zone; and (b) consists of, or is directly proximate to, either—

(i) a motorway or State highway (as those terms are defined in section 2(1) of the Government Road- ing Powers Act 1989); or

(ii) a railway line (as that term is defined in section 2(1) of the New Zealand Railways Corporation Act 1981); and

travel to or from a clean zone (the relevant clean zone) during that clean period, although the clean period may include times before and after the clean period for the relevant clean zone that are reasonable in the circum- stances.

(5) In this section, excluded land or buildingsmeans private land and private buildings, whether or not surrounded by other land that is declared to be part of a clean zone or a clean transport route; but does not include— (a) billboards; or (b) the venue of a major event activity; or (c) land the public ordinarily has access to (for example, a

railway station or a venue’s car park).

Examples The Football World Cup finals are to be held in New Zealand in 2007. The Football World Cup finals are declared to be a major event under section 7. Example 1: Clean zone and clean period The final game of the Football World Cup is to be held at the rugby stadium located in Phillipstown in Christchurch between 3 pm and 7 pm on Saturday, 9 June 2007. The Police and the Christchurch City Council have decided, in the particular circumstances of this major event activity, that in order to host safely the final game of the Football World Cup, it is necessary to close Stevens Street, Talfourd Place, and Lismore Street to vehicles from 12.01 am to 11.59 pm on Saturday, 9 June 2007. Falsgrove Street (between Lismore Street and Stevens Street) will also be closed for parts of that day. After taking into account the matters set out in section 16(2) and looking at the requirements of the particular event, the Economic Development Minister decides to declare a clean zone and a clean period for the final game of the Football World Cup in ac- cordance with section 16(1). The Minister declares the clean zone to be the area bordered by, and including, the footpaths on the north side of Stevens Street, the west side of Wilsons Road North (between Stevens Street and Lismore Street), the south side of Lismore Street (between Wilsons Road North and Falsgrove Street), and the west side of Falsgrove Street (between Lismore Street and Stevens Street). The stadium and its surrounds, including the stadium car park, (all of which are within the area described above) are included in the clean zone. However, none of the private land or private buildings within the area described above is included in the clean zone. The Minister declares the clean period for this clean zone to start at 12.01 am on Saturday, 9 June 2007 and finish at 11.59 pm on Saturday, 9 June 2007. Example 2: Clean transport routes and clean periods In accordance with section 16(1), the Economic Development Minister also decides to declare 2 clean transport routes and a clean period for the final game of the Football World Cup. State Highway 73 and the Christchurch Southern Motorway 73 are declared to be a clean transport route from the point on the Christchurch Southern Motorway that is 5 km in a straight line (in a south-westerly direction) from the corner of Falsgrove and Lismore Street, to the point on State Highway 73 that is 5 km in

Part 2 s 17 Major Events Management Act 2007 Reprinted as at

1 July 2012

Examples—continued

a straight line (in a south-easterly direction) from the corner of Lismore Street and Wilsons Road North. All of State Highway 74A is within 5 km of the clean zone and therefore all of this highway is also declared to be a clean trans- port route. Both clean transport routes are declared to include the areas di- rectly proximate to the highways and motorway that do not con- sist of private land or private buildings. It appears that very few people will be using the railway lines to the north of State Highway 73 to travel to or from the clean zone. Therefore, the Minister decides not to declare this railway line to be a clean transport route. The clean period for the clean transport routes is declared to start at 8 am on Saturday, 9 June 2007 and finish at 11 pm on Saturday, 9 June 2007.

Section 16(4)(b)(i): amended, on 1 August 2008, by section 50(1) of the Land Transport Management Amendment Act 2008 (2008 No 47).

17 No street trading in clean zone without authorisation (1) No person may engage in street trading in a clean zone during

a clean period without the written authorisation of the major event organiser.

(2) No personwho is outside a clean zonemay, without the written authorisation of the major event organiser, engage in street trading with a person who is in a clean zone during a clean period.

(3) In this section, street tradingmeans selling, hawking, or giv- ing away goods or services, but excludes operating an existing business out of existing permanent premises of that business.

Examples These examples refer to the clean zone and the clean period set out in the examples in section 16. Example 1 Richard is a hot dog vendor. Richard sets up his hot dog cart and starts selling hot dogs on the footpath of Stevens Street on Saturday, 9 June 2007. Richard does not have the written authorisation of themajor event organiser for Richard’s street trading in the clean zone during the clean period.

Reprinted as at 1 July 2012 Major Events Management Act 2007 Part 2 s 18

Examples—continued

Richard is in breach of section 17(1). Example 2 Richard shifts his hot dog cart and sets it up on private property that is not part of the clean zone. Richard starts selling hot dogs over the fence of the property to people standing in the clean zone. It is still Saturday, 9 June 2007. Richard does not have the written authorisation of themajor event organiser for Richard’s street trading with a person in the clean zone during the clean period. Richard is in breach of section 17(2). Example 3 Richard shifts his hot dog cart to the footpath of Moorhouse Av- enue, about 100 m outside the clean zone, and starts selling hot dogs. It is still Saturday, 9 June 2007. Richard does not have the written authorisation of themajor event organiser for his street trading. This is not a breach of section 17.

18 No advertising in clean zone without authorisation No person may advertise in a clean zone during a clean period without the written authorisation of the major event organiser.

Examples These examples refer to the clean zone and the clean period set out in the examples in section 16. Example 1 Two weeks before the final game of the Football World Cup is held, Company A pays Company B for the right to place an ad- vertisement advertising Company A’s products on a billboard in Talfourd Place. The billboard is owned by Company B and is lo- cated within the area that will be a clean zone for the clean period. Company A has not advertised in this position before.

watch the final game of the Football World Cup. The T-shirts are in Company A’s corporate colours and are identifiable as relat- ing to Company A and its products. Many of the people who are given these T-shirts put them on and wear them in the clean zone. None of Company A, Company B, or the people giving away the T-shirts has the written authorisation of the major event organiser for this advertising. Both Company A and Company B are in breach of section 18. The people giving away the T-shirts are not in breach of sec- tion 18.

from anywhere within a clean zone during a clean period with- out the written authorisation of the major event organiser.

(2) Subsection (1) includes advertising on or by means of an air- craft, but does not include normal markings and livery on an aircraft.

Example 1 Two weeks before the final game of the Football World Cup is held, Company A pays Company B to undertake an advertising campaign on its behalf. Accordingly, Company B arranges with Company C for the right to place a large advertisement advertis- ing Company A’s services on a billboard on top of a tall building located outside the clean zone. The billboard is owned by Com- pany C, and Company C is paid for Company A’s advertising be- ing placed on the billboard. Company A has never advertised in this manner before. The advertising on the billboard is clearly visible from within the clean zone. None of Company A, Company B, or Company C has the written authorisation of the major event organiser for this advertising. Company A, Company B, and Company C are all in breach of section 19 during the clean period. Example 2 Company X produces goods that directly compete with goods produced by Company Y. Company Y is an official sponsor of the Football World Cup finals. Company X is not a sponsor of, and has no association with, the Football World Cup finals. Two weeks before the final game of the Football World Cup is held, Company X places an advertisement advertising its prod- ucts on a billboard on Lancaster Street, about 50 m outside the clean zone. The billboard faces away from the clean zone so that, although the back of the billboard is clearly visible from within the clean zone, the advertising on the billboard cannot be seen from within the clean zone. The billboard is not in a clean transport route. Company X does not have the written authorisation of the major event organiser for this advertising. This is not a breach of section 19.

20 No advertising in clean transport route without authorisation No person may advertise in a clean transport route during a clean period without the written authorisation of the major event organiser.

Examples These examples refer to the clean transport routes and the as- sociated clean periods, as well as the clean zone and the clean period, set out in the examples in section 16. Example 1 Two weeks before the final game of the Football World Cup is held, Company A pays Company B for the right to place adver- tisements advertising Company A’s products on a number of bill- boards on the grass verge alongside State Highway 73. The bill- boards are all owned by Company B and are all located within the area that will be a clean transport route during the associated clean period. Company A has not advertised in this position be- fore. Neither Company A nor Company B has the written authorisation of the major event organiser for this advertising. Both Company A and Company B are in breach of section 20 during the clean period. Example 2 Lots of advertising is clearly visible from a clean transport route during the associated clean period. However, none of this ad- vertising is located within the clean transport route. It is also not located in a clean zone and is not clearly visible from within a clean zone. None of the advertising has the written authorisation of the major event organiser. This is not a breach of section 20.

21 Persons who advertise In sections 18 to 20, a person advertises if that person— (a) pays for, commissions, or authorises the advertisement;

or (b) receives consideration for the placement or the location

of the advertisement.

22 Exceptions to sections 18 to 20 Sections 18 to 20 do not apply to advertising—

(a) if, in accordance with honest practices in indus- trial or commercial matters, the advertising is done by an existing organisation continuing to carry out its ordinary activities; or

Reprinted as at 1 July 2012 Major Events Management Act 2007 Part 2 s 22

(b) on articles of clothing (including shoes) or other personal items being worn, carried, or used by— (i) a member of the public, unless that item

(d) on a train, boat, or vehicle, provided that that train, boat, or vehicle is being used to carry out its ordinary activities in its usual manner; or

(e) on an aircraft that is used for an emergency that involves a danger to life or property necessitating the urgent transportation of persons or medical or other supplies for the protection of life or prop- erty.

Examples These examples refer to the clean zone and the clean period, as well as the clean transport routes and the associated clean periods, set out in the examples in section 16. Example 1 Existing Business A carries on its business from a private building situated on private land on Stevens Street. Although the land is located within the overall parameters of the clean zone, because it is private land it has not been declared to be part of the clean zone. Existing Business A has a large billboard on the roof of its building advertising Existing Business A’s services. This billboard has been there for many years. The advertising on the billboard is clearly visible from within the clean zone.

Existing Business A does not have the written authorisation of the major event organiser for this advertising. This is not a breach of section 19 because of the exception in section 22(a). Example 2 Two years before the final game of the Football World Cup is held, Company A pays Company B for the right to place adver- tisements advertising Company A’s services on a number of bill- boards on the grass verge alongside State Highway 73. The bill- boards are all owned by Company B and are all located within the area that will be a clean transport route during the associ- ated clean period. These billboards are maintained in this area throughout the 24months leading up to the final game of the Foot- ball World Cup, throughout the clean period, and for a period after the final game. Neither Company A nor Company B has the written authorisation of the major event organiser for this advertising. This is not a breach of section 20 because of the exception in section 22(a). Example 3 Amy attends the final game of the Football World Cup. She wears her favourite T-shirt and hat, which have advertising brands clearly visible upon them. She is also carrying a news- paper that has many advertisements within it. In order to get to the game, Amy catches a bus that travels along a clean transport route. Amy does not have the written authorisation of the major event organiser for this advertising. This is not a breach of section 18, 19, or 20 because of the ex- ceptions in section 22(b)(i) and (c).

Notes

1 General This is a reprint of the Major Events Management Act 2007. The reprint incorporates all the amendments to the Act as at 1 July 2012, as specified in the list of amendments at the end of these notes. Relevant provisions of any amending enactments that contain transitional, savings, or application provisions that cannot be compiled in the reprint are also included, after the principal enactment, in chronological order. For more information, see http://www.pco.parliament.govt.nz/reprints/.

2 Status of reprints Under section 16D of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989, reprints are presumed to correctly state, as at the date of the reprint, the law enacted by the principal enactment and by the amendments to that enactment. This presumption applies even though editorial changes authorised by section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 have been made in the reprint. This presumption may be rebutted by producing the official volumes of statutes or statutory regulations in which the principal enactment and its amendments are contained.

3 How reprints are prepared A number of editorial conventions are followed in the preparation of reprints. For example, the enacting words are not included in Acts, and

Notes Major Events Management Act 2007 Reprinted as at

1 July 2012

provisions that are repealed or revoked are omitted. For a detailed list of the editorial conventions, see http://www.pco.parliament.govt.nz/editorial-conventions/ or Part 8 of the Tables of New Zealand Acts and Ordinances and Statutory Regulations and Deemed Regulations in Force.

4 Changes made under section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 Section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 authorises the making of editorial changes in a reprint as set out in sections 17D and 17E of that Act so that, to the extent permitted, the format and style of the reprinted enactment is consistent with current legislative drafting practice. Changes that would alter the effect of the legislation are not permitted. A new format of legislation was introduced on 1 January 2000. Changes to legislative drafting style have also beenmade since 1997, and are ongoing. To the extent permitted by section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989, all legislation reprinted after 1 January 2000 is in the new format for legislation and reflects current drafting practice at the time of the reprint. In outline, the editorial changes made in reprints under the authority of section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 are set out below, and they have been applied, where relevant, in the preparation of this reprint: • omission of unnecessary referential words (such as “of

this section” and “of this Act”) • typeface and type size (Times Roman, generally in 11.5

point) • layout of provisions, including:

• indentation • position of section headings (eg, the number and

heading now appear above the section) • format of definitions (eg, the defined term now appears

in bold type, without quotation marks) • format of dates (eg, a date formerly expressed as “the

1st day of January 1999” is now expressed as “1 January 1999”)

Reprinted as at 1 July 2012 Major Events Management Act 2007 Notes

• position of the date of assent (it now appears on the front page of each Act)

• small capital letters in section and subsection references are now capital letters

• schedules are renumbered (eg, Schedule 1 replaces First Schedule), and all cross-references are changed accordingly

• running heads (the information that appears at the top of each page)

• format of two-column schedules of consequential amendments, and schedules of repeals (eg, they are rearranged into alphabetical order, rather than chronological).
