This book was written to help toddlers to understand and prepare for saying goodbye to mama''s milk when it''s time to stop nursing. Saying goodbye to mama''s milk is okay because mama''s love will last forever. Developmentally, Poppy the magical milk fairy helps toddlers and young children to prepare and ready themselves for this developmental milestone. Breastfeeding is a magical experience that bonds mothers and babies across cultures and weaning can be difficult to explain. It is my hope that this book will help mothers around the world to prepare their children for this important developmental step.

It is trite law that a director is a fiduciary to his or her company and must act in the interests of the company. However, identifying the “interests of the company” is not so straightforward. Different theories of the nature of the company and different stakeholders interested in the company all present varying claims on what constitutes the company and its interests. This paper considered those arguments and suggests that, for the purpose of determining the object and content of the director''s fiduciary obligation, the interests of the company should be understood in the light of the company''s changing life cycle.

Trusts emerge regularly in relationship property disputes and they are generally well understood to take priority whenever there is a competition between the trust and a claim that the trust property otherwise falls within the pool of relationship assets available for division. Nevertheless, there appears to be some confusion over the boundaries of the Property (Relationships) Act 1976 (PRA) as it applies to trust property and this can cost a spouse, partner or beneficiary property that is rightfully theirs. This article explains three important points that ought to be borne in mind by practitioners working in this area, illustrated by an analysis of three recent decisions.

This paper examines the role played by shams in tax avoidance in New Zealand and its relationship with the general anti-avoidance rule (GAAR) encapsulated in statutory provisions. It shows that as long as the orthodox conception of the sham is employed, there is no need for such a mechanism to combat tax avoidance in a jurisdiction that has a GAAR.

This article considers the doctrines of sham trusts and alter egos currently causing some controversy among trust lawyers. The author analyses recent decisions of the High Court involving allegations of sham trusts and alter egos and relevant authorities from other jurisdictions and assesses the legitimacy of the concepts in the context of established trusts law. While the author accepts the existence of sham trusts, she advocates for a narrower ambit limiting their application only to ab initio shams and rejects both emerging shams and alter egos. Further, the relevant intention with which sham trusts are concerned is only that of the settlor and there should therefore be no requirement of a common sham intention as a prerequisite to finding a sham trust.

This article considers the New Zealand Court of Appeal decision in Clayton v Clayton, which concerned a relationship property dispute involving assets held in trusts. The authors provide a brief discussion of the relationship property claims that Mrs. Clayton made against Mr. Clayton''s various trusts. In particular, the authors focus on the Court of Appeal''s rulings that one of the trusts was not illusory but that Mr Clayton''s power to add and remove beneficiaries was property. The article concludes that this decision was incorrect with relation to relationship property law and trust law.
