456: Appeal to High Court on question of law

You could also call this:

"You can ask the High Court to review a decision about a law."

Illustration for Civil Aviation Act 2023

If you are a party to an appeal under section 453, you may appeal to the High Court on a question of law. The High Court will follow its own rules, the High Court Rules 2016, and some parts of the District Court Act 2016, when it hears your appeal. These rules will be applied in a way that makes sense for your appeal, as if you were appealing under section 124 of the District Court Act 2016.
