The disputes tribunal website has everything you need to know about it - what it is, how to apply, what happens etc. It is the official website for the New Zealand disputess tribunal. What I have learnt from this website is that dispute tribunals are not like proper courts. They are a more improper and informal way of solvivng civil disputes .They are also inexpensive and a private way to solve disputes There is no judge or jury involved instead there is a referee who is trained and specifically selected to solve disputes. If it is necessary the refree can enforce you go to court if the nature of the dispute becomes neccesary for a court case. I also learnt about how the hearing process worksand how to apply.
