Issues with access to justice in the Environment Court of New Zealand

摘要

The New Zealand Environment Court has in recent years worked hard to foster efficiency and good access to justice.This has been done in strong collaboration with the executive arm of government. Electronic and other efficiencies have been trialled and put in place as mandated or encouraged by statute. Processes undertaken or managed by members of the court have been the subject of considerable study, consultation, and eventual implementation. The court embraces change for identifiable good.
