Brookers NZ Legal Databases Errors
Brookers New Zealand Legal Databases are migrating to a new platform. This is causing intermittent errors when doing certain searches, especially very general searches across many databases.
For the moment, the workarounds are:
• Use Firefox. Brookers does not support Chrome or Safari.
• Clear your cache (select Firefox – History – Clear Recent History – Time range to clear: Everything – Clear Now)
• Be selective with your databases, e.g. if you are searching NZ Law Partner Legislation and Cases, click it to open it up and tick only the sub-databases that you need.
Please contact us if you have any queries about this.
