This Part has some special rules about particular Australian and New Zealand proceedings that relate to the trans‑Tasman market.
Division 2 is about the Australian proceedings. It allows the Federal Court to conduct or continue the proceedings in New Zealand if it is satisfied that the proceedings could be more conveniently or fairly conducted or continued there.
Division 3 is about the New Zealand proceedings. It allows the High Court of New Zealand to conduct or continue the proceedings in Australia and exercise certain powers in Australia for those purposes. It also gives participants in the proceedings in Australia certain privileges, protections and immunities.
Division 4 allows the Federal Court to obtain evidence in Australia for the purposes of the New Zealand proceedings.
Division 5 deals with miscellaneous matters, such as the jurisdiction of the Federal Court and offences that apply for particular conduct engaged in (for example, obstructing the New Zealand proceedings) at the places in Australia from where the New Zealand proceedings are being conducted.
