TAN v CHIEF EXECUTIVE MINISTRY OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT [2020] NZHC 546
- Citation
- [2020] NZHC 546
- Court
- High Court
Because the appellant did not complete the three mandatory steps in r 20.6(1) (filing in the High Court, filing in the Tribunal office, and service on other parties) within the 22 working day limit prescribed by s 123(4) of the Human Rights Act 1993, and because precedent establishes the Court cannot extend or waive those requirements, the High Court lacked jurisdiction to hear the appeal and it must be struck out.
