1Does this answer your question? How can one become comprehensively aware of all applicable statutes/remedies to a given situation when they are scattered between different acts?– user43343Jul 14, 2022 at 15:04

The Law Society provides this research service where specially trained people scour through all relevant databases and return to you what they have found. Though this service is only available to lawyers (and other people associated with the profession), a lawyer can submit a request for you. Find one that charges in 15-min (or less) time chunks (instead of rounding up to hours) and the price will be reasonable.
Some of the databases are freely available: NZLII and JDO, but they are far from being comprehensive.
Comprehensive databases are available commercially e.g. CaseBase, though subscriptions typically cost several thousand $ per annum.
