The Challenge
Statutory obligations rarely exist in isolation, and understanding how one section interacts with others is critical, but difficult, work.
- Locating the exact wording of a specific section within a lengthy act takes real effort
- Tracing cross-references between provisions is easy to miss when done manually
- Understanding legislative history for a requirement across multiple versions requires piecing together fragmented sources
The Autohive Solution
The New Zealand Legislation integration gives your agents direct access to the official XML source, enabling granular section-level retrieval and search.
Key Feature 1
Extract exact section provisions directly from the official XML text, down to the specific clause.
Key Feature 2
Search within a given version’s XML for related terms, defined phrases, or cross-references to other sections.
Key Feature 3
Trace a requirement’s legislative history by comparing provision text across different versions of the same work.
Benefits
- Precision - Work with the exact statutory text, not a paraphrase
- Faster cross-referencing - Surface related provisions automatically instead of manual searching
- Deeper analysis - Understand how a specific requirement has evolved across versions
How It Works
- Retrieve - The agent pulls the official XML for the relevant version
- Extract - The agent isolates the exact section or provision in question
- Cross-reference - The agent searches the XML for related terms and linked provisions
