92Q Monetary limits on remedies Tribunal may grant (1) Proceedings under section 92B or section 92E may be brought before the Human Rights Review Tribunal irrespective of the amount of damages claimed or the value of the property in respect of which any remedy is sought. (2) However, except as provided in sections 92R to 92V , the Tribunal must not award any damages or grant any remedy in any proceedings of that kind if the making of that award or the granting of that remedy would, because of the monetary limits contained in sections 29 to 34 of the District Courts Act 1947 , be beyond the jurisdiction of a District Court. (3) For the purposes of subsection (2) , if civil proceedings under section 92B are brought on behalf of more than 1 complainant or, as the case may be, more than 1 aggrieved person, those proceedings must, for the purpose of applying any monetary limit under subsection (2) , be treated as if each complainant or, as the case may be, each aggrieved person on whose behalf those proceedings are brought, were the plaintiff in a separate action against the defendant. Compare: 1977 No 49 s 41; 1983 No 56 s 15; 1993 No 5 s 3(6) Sections 92A to 92W were inserted, as from 1 January 2002, by section 9 Human Rights Amendment Act 2001 (2001 No 96).
