Sarah Eyre, Chairperson of Human Rights Review Tribunal and Gill Goodwin, Deputy Chair
First thoughts
- Appreciate the heads-up
- Don’t support or oppose or have strong view, however, what would be useful is that if there
was to be an increase in jurisdiction, would require an increase in resourcing
Specifics
- Resourcing – if lowered to Privacy Commissioner level, then would need additional
resourcing at the Deputy Chair-level. If HRC level then extensive increased resourcing of
Tribunal if HRC level.
- Lowering threshold – be clear of implications for Director of Proceedings
- 75% of decisions are issued within 6 months
Action: Update description of thresholds per feedback.
