51A: Lifting or varying order

You could also call this:

“Asking to remove or change a rule that was given to you”

If you are subject to an order under section 51(1)(e)(iii), you can ask the Tribunal to lift or change the order. You do this by applying to the Tribunal.

The Tribunal can decide to lift the order if they think it’s no longer needed to achieve what the Act is trying to do. They can also change the order if they think there are good reasons to do so.

After the Tribunal makes their decision, they will let you know what they have decided.
