130: Appeal

You could also call this:

"Challenging a Decision: Appealing to a Court"

Illustration for Fire and Emergency New Zealand Act 2017

You can appeal an adjudicator's decision to a court if you are Fire and Emergency New Zealand or a respondent. You do this by having the case heard again. You must appeal within 20 working days of the adjudicator's decision being issued. You can still be made to follow the adjudicator's decision while you are waiting for the court to make a decision, unless the court says otherwise. The court can change this if they want to. This means the adjudicator's decision is enforced unless the court stops it.
