title: Parkins v Parkins

authors: Chevalier-Watts, Juliet

abstract: This case came about by appeal from the District Court, which dismissed the appellant’s claim.  The appellant, Grant Parkins (Grant) declared 25% interest by way of institutional constructive trust over a property in the Marlborough Sounds (the property), which is opposed by his brothers, Steven Parkins (Steven) and Reece Parkins (Reece).   Grant states that his interest arises because of his substantial contributions to the property after it was bought by his late father, Morris Parkins (Morris).  The property was substantively developed after its purchase.  The property had been left in equal shares to the three brothers by Morris in his will. Of note is that the terms of Morris’ will were not challenged in any way by any of the brothers. Whilst this case does not challenge the law of institutional constructive trusts, it provides a useful and instructive summary of the established law and thus adds to the institutional constructive trust narrative.  Prior to considering the law, we will first provide an overview of the facts.

title: Determinants of successful vendor managed inventory relationships in oligopoly industries

authors: Dorling, Kim

subjects: food industry

abstract: Purpose – To identify the key determinants of successful vendor managed inventory (VMI) and strategic supply chain relationships for industries characterised by oligopolistic competition. 
Design/methodology/approach – The study used action research in the New Zealand (NZ) food industry supported by a literature review, triangulation and case studies from other industries and countries. 
Findings – Seven key industry-level factors impacting the success of VMI and strategic supply chain relationships were identified. These were integrated into a step-wise framework that provides a path for practitioners to follow when establishing VMI and strategic supply chain relationships in the NZ food industry. 
Research limitations/implications – This research was conducted using action research in the NZ food industry; hence, the research findings may need to be modified and further adapted before applying to other, less concentrated, industries. 
Practical implications – A step-wise framework provides a path for practitioners to follow when establishing VMI and strategic supply chain relationships in the NZ food industry. Detailed practical guidelines are provided for practitioners who wish to improve the profitability of their supply chain. 
Originality/value – The key outcome was a working model that identifies the key determinants of successful VMI and strategic supply chain relationships in the NZ food industry, at an industry-level. A secondary outcome was the contribution to knowledge from an action research perspective.

title: Māori loanwords: a corpus of New Zealand English tweets

authors: Trye, David

abstract: Māori loanwords are widely used in New Zealand English for various social functions by New Zealanders within and outside of the Māori community. Motivated by the lack of linguistic resources for studying how Māori loanwords are used in social media, we present a new corpus of New Zealand English tweets. We collected tweets containing selected Māori words that are likely to be known by New Zealanders who do not speak Māori. Since over 30% of these words turned out to be irrelevant (e.g., mana is a popular gaming term, Moana is a character from a Disney movie), we manually annotated a sample of our tweets into relevant and irrelevant categories. This data was used to train machine learning models to automatically filter out irrelevant tweets.
