112: Application to Tribunal to review determination by Registrar

You could also call this:

"Ask the Tribunal to Review a Decision You Don't Agree With"

Illustration for Real Estate Agents Act 2008

You can apply to the Tribunal if you do not agree with a decision made by the Registrar that affects you. You must do this within 20 working days of being told about the decision. You need to send a written notice to the Tribunal saying you want to apply. You must include a copy of the notification with your application. You may also need to pay a fee and provide other information you want the Tribunal to consider. The Tribunal will review your application on paper unless you ask to be heard. The Tribunal can then decide to keep the Registrar's decision, change it, or cancel it. If the Tribunal changes or cancels the Registrar's decision, it can make any decision the Registrar could have made.
