What can we consider?
We can consider complaints about:
• the conduct of the people who handled your case
• the service that we gave you.We cannot investigate:
• the correctness of any direction, decision or agreement made in your case
• or what occurs within a mediation, as this is a confidential process.For many of the dispute schemes we run there are specific appeal options available through the Courts and Tribunals. See www.justice.govt.nz for more information.
If your complaint is referred onto a dispute practitioner’s professional membership body, we will let you know. A referral will be considered for concerns raised regarding professional practice.
