Commerce Act 1986

Regulated goods or services - Input methodologies

52W: Status of input methodologies, amendments, and revocations

You could also call this:

"Rules about creating, changing, or cancelling input methodologies"

Illustration for Commerce Act 1986

When the Commission makes a decision about an input methodology, it is like making a rule. You can find out more about what this means by looking at Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019. This includes things like creating a new methodology, changing an existing one, or getting rid of an old one.

The Commission has to publish these decisions, which are a type of secondary legislation, under the Legislation Act 2019. They have to do this within 10 working days of making the decision, or if someone appeals to the High Court, within 10 working days of the Commission getting the Court's decision.

If the High Court makes a decision about an input methodology, the Legislation Act 2019 applies as if the Commission made the decision. When the Commission publishes a new methodology or an amendment, they also have to publish their reasons for making that decision on a website.
