You can appeal to the High Court if you disagree with a decision made by the Director-General. You might be the person who applied for a permit, the person who holds the permit, or an iwi that takes care of the protected area. The Director-General's decisions that can be appealed include whether to give you a permit, what conditions are on the permit, or whether to take the permit away. You can only appeal if you think the Director-General made a mistake about the law. The High Court will look at whether the decision was correct according to the law. This means you cannot appeal just because you do not like the decision. The decisions that can be appealed are about permits in protected areas. These decisions are important because they affect how people use the protected areas. You have the right to appeal to the High Court if you think the law was not followed correctly.
