264: Annual report of Registrar

You could also call this:

“The Registrar's yearly report to the government about the Environment Court's work.”

The Registrar has to give a report to the Minister of the Crown who is responsible for the Ministry of Justice each year. You will get this report by 31 August, and it will have information about how the Environment Court worked during the past year. The Minister will decide what information the report should have.

The Minister of the Crown who is responsible for the Ministry of Justice will then give this report to the House of Representatives within 10 sitting days of getting it. This means the report will be available for everyone to see what the Environment Court has been doing.

The Registrar and the Minister have to follow these rules to make sure the report is done on time and has the right information.
