You could also call this:

“You can ask a higher court to check if the law was used correctly as a last step.”

You have one last chance to appeal to the High Court if you think there’s a mistake about the law. This is called a final right of appeal. It’s only about questions of law, not about the facts of your case. When you make this appeal, you need to follow the rules set out in sections 299 to 304 of the Resource Management Act. These sections explain how to make your appeal and what happens next.
