Oranga Tamariki Act 1989

Appeals - Appeals from decisions of Family Court

343: Notice of appeal to be given to local principal manager

You could also call this:

"Tell the local boss when you appeal a Family Court decision"

Illustration for Oranga Tamariki Act 1989

When you appeal a decision from the Family Court under section 341(2), the High Court Registrar must tell the principal manager of the department for the area where the court is. The principal manager is in charge of the local area. You do not need to do this if the chief executive is the one appealing.

The Registrar must do this as soon as possible. This is so the principal manager knows an appeal has been lodged. The principal manager needs to know what is happening in their area.
