You could also call this:

"The court's power to decide certain appeals about the law."

When you appeal to the Environment Court under clause 14(1) of Schedule 1, the court can only look at the question of law. This is if the appeal is about something in a document under section 55(2B). The court will consider what the law says about the matter. You can find more information about this in clause 14(1) of Schedule 1 and section 55(2B).
