Environment Court protocol as to judgment delivery expectations.
All divisions of the Environment Court aim to deliver decisions as promptly as possible as required by section 272(1) RMA.
The Chief Environment Court Judge is required periodically to publish information about the number of judgments considered to be outstanding beyond a reasonable time for delivery, in accordance with s288A Resource Management Act 1991.
The Chief Environment Court Judge has, in consultation with the Chief Justice as required by that provision, established a Protocol as to judgment delivery expectations, which can be viewed on the Court’s website. The delivery expectations stated in that protocol are the measure by which this report is constructed.
