Illustration for Crown Minerals Act 1991

If you are part of a hearing about accessing land, you can stop the hearing at any time before it finishes. You can do this by giving the arbitrator a written notice that you and the other parties have signed. You can stop the hearing before it concludes by serving a written notice on the arbitrator. The person who wants to access the land may still have to pay the arbitrator's costs, even if the hearing stops.
