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

Regulatory and enforcement matters - Civil liability - Jurisdiction

93: Jurisdiction of High Court

You could also call this:

“The High Court can make decisions and review appeals about this new law”

The new law might change what the High Court can do. If this law is passed, the High Court would be able to do two main things:

You could ask the High Court to make orders or use its power in ways that this part of the law allows.

If someone doesn’t agree with what the District Court decided about something in this part of the law, they could ask the High Court to look at it again. This is called an appeal.

These changes would give the High Court the ability to make decisions about certain things related to this new law.
