Part 3: substituted, on 1 January 2002, by section 9 of the Human Rights Amendment Act 2001 (2001 No 96).
The object of this Part is to establish procedures that—
facilitate the provision of information to members of the public who have questions about discrimination; and
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
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
recognise that the procedures for dispute resolution under this Part need to be flexible; and
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
recognise that difficult issues of law may need to be determined by higher courts.
