The Royal Succession Act is an act of the New Zealand Parliament to alter the laws of succession to the New Zealand throne.[1]
Compared to the Canadian Succession to the Throne Act, 2013 which merely assented to the British Succession to the Crown Act 2013, this legislation effectively re-legislated the effects of the British act.
