Part 3Resolution of disputes about compliance with Part 1A and Part 2
75Object of this Part
The object of this Part is to establish procedures that—
- facilitate the provision of information to members of the public who have questions about discrimination; and
- recognise that disputes about compliance with Part 1A or Part 2 are more likely to be successfully resolved if those disputes can be resolved promptly by the parties themselves; and
- recognise that, if disputes about compliance with Part 1A or Part 2 are to be resolved promptly, expert problem-solving support, information, and assistance needs to be available to the parties to those disputes; and
- recognise that the procedures for dispute resolution under this Part need to be flexible; and
- recognise that judicial intervention at the lowest level needs to be that of a specialist decision-making body that is not inhibited by strict procedural requirements; and
- recognise that difficult issues of law may need to be determined by higher courts.
