207P: Review of order for transfer

You could also call this:

"Checking a decision to move a protection order to someone else"

Illustration for Oranga Tamariki Act 1989

If you want to review a court order to transfer a protection order, you must do this within 10 working days. You cannot extend this 10-day period. When you file for a review, it stops the order from happening until the review is finished.

If you review a transfer order and also appeal to the High Court under section 341, the High Court will hear both cases together. This is unless the High Court thinks it is not practical to do so in your situation. The High Court has to make this decision based on your particular case.
