Illustration for Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act 1993

You are appealing to the High Court. When you tell the Registrar of the High Court at Wellington that you have served the notice of appeal as required by section 59(2), or that you have met the conditions for not serving it as set out in section 60, and that either no application has been made under section 63 or any such application has been dealt with, your appeal is ready to be heard. The Registrar will then set a date for the hearing as soon as possible.
