A charitable trust has recently been sentenced for breaching the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007 (often known as the Spam Act), in a reminder that it's easy to do the wrong thing, even if it is unintentional.1

The New Zealand Trustees Association Charitable Trust (NZTA) provides advice and information to a range of entities, including estates, boards of trustees, foundations, trusts, and other fiduciary enterprises, about how those entities should carry out their functions and duties. The services supplied were based on membership subscriptions, and include subsidised annual financial reviews, website listings, a regular publication (the Estate and Trust Bulletin), and general support.
