11  Simplified outline of this Part

      A large number of Acts and legislative instruments allow people to apply to the Tribunal for review of decisions made under them.
      A person whose interests are affected by a reviewable decision may apply to the Tribunal for review of the decision. Timeframes apply to applications, but may be extended in some circumstances.
      If a person applies for review of a decision, the person and the decision‑maker are parties to the proceeding for the review. Other people whose interests are affected by the decision may apply to the Tribunal to become a party.
      For the purposes of the review of a decision, the decision‑maker must generally give copies of a statement of reasons for the decision and relevant documents to the Tribunal and the other parties to the proceeding for the review.
      An application for review of a decision does not affect the operation of the decision unless the Tribunal orders otherwise.
      This Part contains the standard provisions for these matters. Other legislation can include provisions that apply in addition to, or instead of, these standard provisions.
      Part 10 contains other provisions assisting persons affected by decisions. These deal with when decision‑makers are required to give notice of decisions and review rights and provide statements of reasons.
