(2) An Order in Council under subsection (1) must identify the major event and the major event organiser.
(3) The Minister may only make a recommendation if— (a) an event organiser has applied for an event to be declared to be a major
event under this Act; and (b) the event activities will take place, at least in part, in New Zealand; and (c) the Minister is satisfied that the event organiser has the capacity and the
intention to— (i) successfully and professionally stage and manage 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 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 co-ordination: (d) attract significant sponsorship and international media coverage: (e) attract large numbers of New Zealanders as participants or spectators: (f) offer substantial sporting, cultural, social, economic, or other benefits for

Reprinted as at 3 June 2017 Major Events Management Act 2007 Part 2 s 10
(b) the major event organiser; and (c) persons the Minister considers are likely to be substantially affected by

tent 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 expense of either a
major event organiser or a major event sponsor. (4) A failure to comply with subsection (2)(c) does not affect the validity of an

10 No representation of association with major event (1) No person may, during a major event’s protection period, make any representa-
tion in a way likely to suggest to a reasonable person that there is an associ- ation 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 includes a person who— (a) pays for, commissions, or authorises the representation; or (b) receives consideration for the placement or the location of the represen-
tation.
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.

Reprinted as at Part 2 s 11 Major Events Management Act 2007 3 June 2017
Company A pays Company B to produce hats with writing on them that states “Company A—proud to bring you the 2007 Football 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 in-
cludes 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.
(2) Subsection (1) applies even if the representation is qualified by words like “un- authorised” or “unofficial”, or other words that are intended to defeat the pur- pose 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 provides goods or services has the written authorisation of the major event organiser; or
(b) the representation has the written authorisation of the major event organ- iser; or
(c) the representation is of personal opinion made by a natural person for no commercial gain; 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 or-
dinary activities; or (iii) is for the purposes of reporting news, information, criticism, or a
review (including promoting that news, information, criticism, or review) in a newspaper or magazine, or by means of television, radio, film, the Internet, or other means of reporting; or
(iv) in the case of a word or emblem (provided that the word or em- blem is not being used in combination with other words or em-
10

blems with the intention of suggesting an association that breach- es 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
(C) an existing registered trade mark. (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 be- tween news, information, criticism, 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 The World’s Best Cup Makers Limited is a New Zealand business that was estab- lished 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 dur- ing 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 company name, its advertising, its slo- gan, 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 supplement. It con- tains a schedule of the games to be played during the Football World Cup finals, an explanation of the rules of football, 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 authorisation of the major event organiser for Company B’s statement on the cover of the supplement. The content of the supplement and the advertising within it does not breach sec- tion 10 because of the exception in section 12(1)(d)(iii). However, both Daily News-
11

paper 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 representation 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 manu-
facture; or (b) sells those goods, or exposes those goods for sale; or (c) possesses those goods for the purpose of trade or manufacture.
(3) Every person who commits an offence against subsection (1) or (2) is liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $150,000. Compare: 2002 No 49 ss 124, 125
Section 13(3): amended, on 1 July 2013, by section 413 of the Criminal Procedure Act 2011 (2011 No 81).
14 Defences to breach of section 10 (1) It is a defence to an action or a prosecution for a breach of section 10, in rela-
tion to a representation that is an advertisement, if the defendant proves— (a) that the defendant’s business includes publishing or arranging for the
publication of advertisements; and (b) that the defendant received the representation in the ordinary course of
that business and did not know, and had no reason to believe, that pub- lishing it would constitute a breach of section 10.
(2) This section overrides the presumption in section 11. Compare: 1981 No 47 s 20AA; London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games Act 2006 s 21(2) (UK)
15 Registering authority must not register in certain cases (1) Despite anything about registration in any other Act, a registering 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 protec- tion period, but also applies to any application for registration that—
12
Reprinted as at 3 June 2017 Major Events Management Act 2007 Part 2 s 16
(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 the Gazette, the 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 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 expense 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—
(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 footpath, road, or other thoroughfare); and
(iii) areas that are otherwise necessary to enable the major event activ- ity 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 boun-
dary 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 sec- tion 2(1) of the Government Roading Powers Act 1989); or
13
Reprinted as at Part 2 s 16 Major Events Management Act 2007 3 June 2017
(ii) a railway line (as that term is defined in section 2(1) of the New Zealand Railways Corporation Act 1981); and
(c) does not consist of excluded land or buildings; and (d) is likely to be used by a substantial number of people to 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 circumstances.
(5) In this section, excluded land or buildings means 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 loca- ted 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 cir- cumstances 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 re- quirements of the particular event, the Minister decides to declare a clean zone and a clean period for the final game of the Football World Cup in accordance 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.
14

Example 2: Clean transport routes and clean periods In accordance with section 16(1), the 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 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 transport route. Both clean transport routes are declared to include the areas directly proximate to the highways and motorway that do not consist 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 Sat- urday, 9 June 2007 and finish at 11 pm on Saturday, 9 June 2007.

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.

Example 2 Company X produces goods that directly compete with goods produced by Com- pany Y. Company Y is an official sponsor of the Football World Cup finals. Com- pany 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 products 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.
