Human Rights Act 2019

A party to a proceeding must give notice in the approved form to the Attorney-General and the commission if—

for a proceeding in the Supreme Court, District Court, Land Court or Land Appeal Court—a question of law arises that relates to the application of this Act or a question arises in relation to the interpretation of a statutory provision in accordance with this Act; or

for any proceeding—a question is referred to the Supreme Court under section 49.

However, the notice need not be given to—

the Attorney-General, if the State is a party to the proceeding; or

the commission, if the commission is a party to the proceeding.

Nothing in this section requires a court or tribunal to adjourn a proceeding in relation to which the notice is given.
