290A: Environment Court to have regard to decision that is subject of appeal or inquiry

You could also call this:

"The Environment Court must consider the original decision when you appeal or ask about it."

When you are involved in an appeal or inquiry with the Environment Court, the Court must think about the decision that you are appealing or asking about. The Environment Court has to consider this decision when they are making their own decision. You can find more information about how the Environment Court works and the laws that guide it in the Resource Management Act 1991 and the Resource Management Amendment Act 2005.
