Due to limited access to the building, the Auckland Information Office is available by appointment only. Please contact us by email at mlctamakimakaurau@justice.govt.nz
To make sure that the minute is accurate, court hearings are recorded. To help us accurately record the kōrero, please move to the front of the court room when speaking and speak as clearly as possible.
After the judge, registrar, or mediator makes a decision, you will receive the court minutes and orders which will also be documented in the court record. If your application was for dispute resolution, only the order will become a part of the record.
The judge may also order any person to provide copies of records, reports, and reasons for decisions related to the incorporation, and to assist the examining officers with their review.
