Illustration for Oranga Tamariki Act 1989

If you are in court for a case under Part 2 or Part 3A of the Oranga Tamariki Act 1989, the court can make an order that everyone agrees to. The court can only make an order that it has the power to make in that case. You can find more information about Part 2 by looking at the link to Part 2 and more information about Part 3A by looking at the link to Part 3A. The court will make the order if all parties to the case agree to it. This means that everyone involved in the case must consent to the order.
