165ZZK: Final right of appeal

You could also call this:

"Last chance to appeal a decision to the High Court if you think the law was wrong."

Illustration for Resource Management Act 1991

If you disagree with a decision made by the Environment Court under section 165ZZJ, you have a final right to appeal to the High Court, but only if it's about a question of law. You can appeal to the High Court if you think the Environment Court made a mistake about what the law says. When you appeal, sections 299 to 304 will apply to your appeal, which means these sections will guide how your appeal is handled.
