New Zealand law explained for everyone

Child Support Act 1991

Liability to pay child support under formula assessment - Procedure after acceptance or refusal of application for formula assessment

21: Duty to give notice of decision to unsuccessful applicant

You could also call this:

"Tell people when they can't get child support"

This part of the law used to tell the government what to do when they decided not to accept someone's application for child support. However, this rule is no longer in use. It was removed from the law on 1 April 2015. This means that the government doesn't have to follow this specific rule anymore when dealing with child support applications.
