"The Sports Tribunal of New Zealand keeps working as it did before."

Illustration for Sports Tribunal Act 2006

The Sports Tribunal of New Zealand still exists. You can think of it as the same group that was previously called the Sports Disputes Tribunal of New Zealand, which was set up by the board of Sport and Recreation New Zealand under section 8(i) of the Sport and Recreation New Zealand Act 2002. The Tribunal keeps working with the same jobs, powers, and responsibilities as before, without any big changes.

The Tribunal's continuity, assets, rights, and liabilities all stay the same. This means it keeps its members, contracts, and everything else it had before. It just keeps going under this new Act.

There are some exceptions to this, which are explained in sections 57 and 58. These sections have some different rules that override the general rule about the Tribunal staying the same. They are important to understand how the Tribunal works.
