Resource Management Act 1991

Environment Court - Appeals from Environment Court decisions

301: Right to appear and be heard on appeal

You could also call this:

“Having a say in an appeal to the High Court about a resource management decision”

If you want to appear and be heard on an appeal to the High Court, you must give notice to several people. You need to tell the person who is appealing, the Registrar of the High Court, and the Registrar of the Environment Court that you want to appear. You must also tell the authority whose decision was appealed, if the Environment Court made the decision after an appeal to it. You have to serve the notice to appear within 10 working days after you were served with the notice of appeal. This is part of the Resource Management Act 1991, which you can find more information about on the New Zealand legislation website.
