Environment Court - Appeals from Environment Court decisions

302: Parties to the appeal before the High Court

You could also call this:

"Who is involved when you appeal to the High Court"

When you appeal a decision from the Environment Court to the High Court, you are a party to the appeal. Any person who wants to be involved in the appeal can give notice under section 301 and they become a party too. The High Court makes sure all parties get important documents and notices about the appeal.

The High Court gives you every document that is filed or lodged with them about your appeal. They also tell you when your appeal will be heard in court. This way, you know what is happening with your appeal and when you need to be in court.

The Registrar of the High Court is in charge of making sure you get all the right information about your appeal, including the date of the hearing and any documents that are filed.
