New Zealand Disputes Tribunal Claim (Claimant) - Corporate Respondent Claim

The Process at a Glance: The practitioner conducts a search on the New Zealand Companies Office to verify the registered name and office. The pre-action demand is served. When filing the claim form, the practitioner ensures correct corporate details are inputted. Notice of the claim is given to the company by a Registrar (s 25 of the Act); Rule 11 permits delivery to the managing director, secretary, treasurer or a similar officer, or to a person in charge at the principal office or place of business. The practitioner monitors if the company seeks approval for an employee to represent them at the hearing. Post-hearing, the sealed order is served on the registered office.

Key Legislation and Case Law: Disputes Tribunal Act 1988 - s 38 (representation approval for companies). Disputes Tribunal Rules 1989 - Rule 11 (service on corporate body); Rule 9 (approval of representative). Companies Act 1993 - s 387 (service of documents on companies).
