Regulatory Systems (Courts) Amendment Bill

Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.

This bill is included in a package of bills amending regulatory systems administered by the Ministry of Justice. It addresses legislative inconsistencies, relieves administrative burdens and reduces duplication, gaps, errors, and anomalies, and clarifies the roles and expands the powers and jurisdiction of judicial officers.
