This section of the law, called ‘Powers of Environment Court in relation to evidence heard on appeal by way of rehearing’, was part of the Resource Management Act 1991. However, it’s important for you to know that this section no longer exists. It was removed from the law on 30 November 2022. This means that the Environment Court no longer has these specific powers related to evidence in appeals. If you need to know about the current powers of the Environment Court, you should look at other parts of the Resource Management Act or ask a lawyer for help.
