383: District Court may direct chief executive to make determination

You could also call this:

“The court can ask the boss to decide on specific things”

If you go to the District Court about something in the Building Act, the court can tell the chief executive to make a decision. The court can say what things the chief executive needs to decide about. These decisions are the same kind that the chief executive usually makes under subpart 1 of Part 3 of the Building Act. The court can do this when someone asks them to, using section 381(1).
