Obituary - Stuart McLaggan, known as Stu, passed away on 22 January I wish to pay tribute to Stuart McLaggan who died in January a brave battle with cancer. Stu was appointed a Justice of the Peace in May 1995 and spent many years as a Judicial Justice and a rostered Search Warrant Justice, as well as undertaking his Ministerial duties with care. Stuart was very conscientious and prepared well for the Court work he undertook. I enjoyed sitting with Stu, as he kept me on my toes and his attention to detail was great. Stuart was the Association Trainer for some time and his dedication to this position meant we all benefited from his knowledge and experience. The NZ Police members from the Whangarei Station presented Stuart with a plaque and certificate, when his illness precluded him from becoming an Issuing Officer, in recognition of his Search Warrant work. Stu was very touched by this gesture and very proud to receive the delegation of Police who visited him at home. I wish to acknowledge Janet’s support of Stuart over his time as a Justice of the Peace. Janet never complained at being woken from a sound sleep when the phone rang at all hours for a Search Warrant application to be considered, spent hours typing Stuart’s assignments when he was studying (being a builder, writing wasn’t high on Stu’s list of priorities!) and welcomed the many people who visited their home for Ministerial matters.
