Illustration for Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act 1993

You can appear and be heard if you got a copy of the appeal notice. You must tell the High Court in Wellington within 10 working days. You do this by lodging a notice that you want to appear and be heard. If you give this notice, you and the person who appealed will be part of the appeal. You will get all the documents about the appeal after you give your notice. You will also get a notice of when the appeal will be heard. You can look at section 59(2) to see who must get a copy of the appeal notice.
