“The court can give you more time to do things for your appeal if you ask nicely.”

If you are involved in an appeal related to an Environment Court decision, you can ask the High Court for more time. The High Court can extend the time limits mentioned in sections 299 to 301, 303, and 305. These sections talk about different parts of the appeal process.
