148I: Proceedings to which Proceedings Commissioner party

You could also call this:

"What happens to court cases involving the Proceedings Commissioner"

Illustration for Human Rights Act 1993

You need to know what happens to court cases the Proceedings Commissioner was involved in. The Director must now bring, continue, complete, and enforce these cases. The Director can also be taken to court in these cases. The rules in sections 86 to 92, 95, and 97 apply to these cases. You should think of the Director as the Proceedings Commissioner in these cases. The Office of Human Rights Proceedings is like the Commission and the Human Rights Review Tribunal is like the Complaints Review Tribunal.
