Text of the provision Official document

75 Object of this Part The object of this Part is to establish procedures that— (a) facilitate the provision of information to members of the public who have questions about discrimination; and (b) recognise that disputes about compliance with Part 1A or Part 2 are more likely to be successfully resolved if those disputes can be resolved promptly by the parties themselves; and (c) recognise that, if disputes about compliance with Part 1A or Part 2 are to be resolved promptly, expert problem-solving support, information, and assistance needs to be available to the parties to those disputes; and (d) recognise that the procedures for dispute resolution under this Part need to be flexible; and (e) recognise that judicial intervention at the lowest level needs to be that of a specialist decision-making body that is not inhibited by strict procedural requirements; and (f) recognise that difficult issues of law may need to be determined by higher courts. Paragraph (g) was amended, as from 15 December 1994, by section 3 Human Rights Amendment Act (No 2) 1994 (1994 No 151) by substituting “ Complaints Division's ” for “ Commission's ” . Sections 75 to 92 were substituted, as from 1 January 2002, by section 9 Human Rights Amendment Act 2001 (2001 No 96).
