Plain language law

New Zealand law explained for everyone

This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.

Customer and Product Data Bill

Administrative matters - Regulations, standards, and exemptions - Regulations

128: Miscellaneous provisions relating to fees and charges

You could also call this:

“Rules about paying fees and charges before getting help”

The new law might say that the person in charge can refuse to do something until you pay the required fee or charge. This means if you need them to do a task, you might have to pay first.

The law also might say that if you owe any fees or charges to the person in charge, they can ask a court to make you pay. This is like if you owe someone money, and they can ask for help to get it back.

Remember, this is not the law yet. It’s just a proposal for a new law that people are thinking about.
