339: Appeals to High Court

You could also call this:

"Challenging a District Court decision in the High Court"

Illustration for Food Act 2014

If you are not happy with a decision made by the District Court under sections like section 334, section 335, or section 337, you might be able to appeal to the High Court. You can appeal if you were part of the application that the decision was made about, or if the decision directly affects you. When you appeal to the High Court, the High Court Rules 2016 and some parts of the District Court Act 2016, like sections 126 to 130, will apply to your appeal, as if you were appealing under section 124 of the District Court Act 2016, but with some changes to fit your situation.
