Illustration for Human Rights Act 1993

The Tribunal tells the Attorney-General when someone starts a case about breaking rules in Part 1A or Part 2. You need to know the Attorney-General gets told if they are not already part of the case. The rules in Part 1A and Part 2 are about things like human rights, and the Tribunal must notify the Attorney-General promptly if someone alleges a breach of these rules.
