Proposed Accident Compensation Appeal Tribunal
In December 2015 we consulted on the proposed Accident Compensation Appeal Tribunal. Submissions did not support establishing a Tribunal and it was decided not to progress establishing a specialist appeal tribunal.

About the consultation
The Government agreed in June 2015 to targeted consultation on the proposed Accident Compensation Appeal Tribunal.
In December 2015, we released a discussion document seeking feedback on 2 main areas:
- who should be the decision-makers for accident compensation appeals - District Court Judges or Tribunal Members
- what rules and procedures should apply to accident compensation appeals.

Submissions received
Submissions closed on 11 March 2016. We received 23 submissions in response to the discussion document. The majority of the feedback received was that stakeholders don't want specialist tribunals and would prefer a consistent process of appeal through the courts. As a result, it was decided not to progress work on establishing specialist appeal tribunal.
