Trans-Tasman transfer of protection orders and protection proceedings - Transfer of protection orders and protection proceedings to New Zealand

207X: Registration of orders and proceedings to be transferred to New Zealand

You could also call this:

"Registering protection orders from other countries in a New Zealand court"

Illustration for Oranga Tamariki Act 1989

When a decision is made to transfer a protection order to New Zealand, the chief executive must register it in a court as soon as possible. You can think of registering as officially recording something with a court. The chief executive does this by filing the protection order in the court's office.

If protection proceedings are being transferred to New Zealand, the chief executive must also register them in a court as soon as possible. This involves filing the order and any interim orders in the court's office.

The chief executive cannot register these orders if they are being appealed, reviewed, or if a stay has been put in place, or if the time allowed for an appeal or review has not yet expired.
