Land Court judge dies
(From Our Own Reporter) WELLINGTON.
Chief Judge Andrew G. Todd, of the Maori Land Court, has died. Born in Gisborne, Chief Judge Todd was educated at Whangarei High School and Victoria University. He qualified as a solicitor in 1926, and later as a barrister. He began legal work in 1922 with the firm of Nicholson, Gribbin, Webb and Ross in Dargaville, and later with Ducan and Hanna in Wellington. He practised on his own account in Wellington from 1928 to 1934, when he joined the Law Drafting Office as assistant law draftsman. >
During his 3,4 years with the Law Drafting Office, in which he became senior assistant law draftsman, Chief Judge Todd’s responsibilities included the preparation of most of the Maori legislation now in the statutes of New Zealand. Shortly after his retirement from the Law Drafting Office, he was appointed Chief Judge of the Maori Land Court in 1969. Chief Judge Todd served overseas in the Pacific, Middle East and Italy.
He is survived by his wife, two sons, and one daughter.
