The Employment Court is a special court that deals with employment issues. You can think of it like a court that helps sort out problems between employers and employees. This court has the power to make decisions and judgments, just like other courts in New Zealand.
The Employment Court was set up by the government, and it has all the usual powers that a court would have. It can also do things that are specifically allowed by the Employment Relations Act 2000 or other laws.
The Employment Court is the same court that was established by [section 103 of the Employment Contracts Act 1991](section 103 of the Employment Contracts Act 1991), which means it has been around for a while and has been dealing with employment issues for some time.
