264: Annual report of Registrar

You could also call this:

“Every year, the Environment Court's manager writes a report about how the court is doing and gives it to the government.”

The Registrar of the Environment Court must give a report to the Minister in charge of the Ministry of Justice every year. This report needs to be given by 31 August and should contain information about how the Environment Court was run, how much work it did, and what resources it used in the year ending on 30 June. The Minister decides what specific information should be in the report.

After the Minister gets this report, they have to share it with the House of Representatives. They must do this within 10 days when the House is sitting. This means the Minister has to show the report to the other members of Parliament so they can see how the Environment Court is working.
