Illustration for Commerce Act 1986

When the Commerce Commission imposes regulations, they must make a decision under Section 52P for each type of regulation. This decision explains how the regulation applies to the people supplying the service. You need to know that the Commission makes this decision for each type of regulation. The Commission's decision under Section 52P is also subject to section 57N. This means the Commission must follow the rules in section 57N when making their decision under Section 52P.
