Commerce Act 1986

Authorisations and clearances - Authorisations in respect of controlled goods or services

70A: Considerations to be observed by Commission

You could also call this:

"The Commission must think about certain things when making decisions about businesses and trade."

Illustration for Commerce Act 1986

When the Commission thinks about authorising something, they have to consider certain things. The Commission is like a group of people who help make decisions about businesses and trade in New Zealand. They have to follow rules so they make fair decisions, but the specific rule about what they must consider when authorising controlled goods or services is no longer in effect because it was repealed on 14 October 2008 by the Commerce Amendment Act 2008, which you can read more about on the legislation website.
