WĀHANGA 4: WHAKAWĀTEATANGA

16.0 Adjudication

Tirohanga Whānui

Ko te 16.1 He tukanga mō te whakatau i ngā Tautohe a tētahi tangata hunga tuatoru kūpapa, e kiia nei ko tētahi Kaiwhakahaere, mā tētahi tukanga whakataunga whai tikanga, hanga i hangaia hei whakatika i ngā tautohe tika, tōkeke hoki mā te hoatu i ngā tikanga ā-ture me ngā tikanga ā-ture ki ngā whakaaturanga e manakohia ana.

16.2 Kei roto tētahi whiwhinga tōkeke, takitahi hoki, te tirotiro me te arotake i ngā Tukunga i whakaratoa e ngā Rōpū me te whakataunga here ā-ture mo nga take i roto i te Tautohe, e kiia nei ko te Whakakoretanga.

16.3 Ina whakatūria he Adjudicator i raro i te Ture 7.12, ka tīmata ia Adjudication ki tētahi kerēme. Me whakarato te kerēme e te kerēme i roto i ngā Rā Mahi e rima o te Rā Tōpūtanga (engari tirohia te Ture 16.9).

16.4 Tērā pea ka whaia tētahi kerēme e tētahi Urupare, ā, mēnā ka tukuna te Tukunga o mua, he Whakautu me te Rejoinder. Me mahi ēnei Tukunga i roto i ngā wā e hāngai ana, ahakoa ka taea te rerekē ngā wā e ngā Rōpū, te Adjudicator rānei (tiro Ture 16.9, 16.21 me te 16.23). Mehemea kua tōmuri te kerēme i te mutunga o te whakawāteatanga. Mēnā kei te tōmuri tonu te Urupare, te Whakautu, te Rejoinder rānei, engari me kaua te Adjudicator e aro atu ki te tukunga tōmuri.

16.5 Me whakautu ia Tukunga ki te mea o mua. Kaore he kaikaute e whakaaetia ana.

16.6 Ka whakataua e te Kaiwhakahaere te Tautohe i runga anō i ngā Tukunga, me ngā hui, ngā whakarongo, ngā toro, ngā tirohanga rānei (tiro Ture 21.12).

16.7 Ehara te whakawāteatanga i te aronga. Kāore ngā whakaritenga o te Ture Arbitration 1996 e pā ana ki tētahi whakawāteatanga i raro i ēnei Ture.

kerēme

16.8 Ina whakatūria he Adjudicator, me mahi te kaikau i tētahi kōrero e tautuhi ana i ngā take o te kerēme (te kerēme). Me whakauru te kerēme:

• (a) te āhua me te take o te kerēme;
• (b) ko te nui o te utu i whakapuakina, i rapua rānei ētahi atu whakamāmātanga, rongoā rānei, tae atu ki tētahi take āwhina;

16.9 Me mahi te kerēme ki te kerēme i runga i te Adjudicator me ērā atu Rōpū i te rima o te Rā Mahi i muri i te Rā Tōpūtanga (te Wā kerēme). Ka whakaaetia pea e te Adjudicator tētahi wā anō mō te mahi o te kerēme mēnā e whakaaro ana te Adjudicator e hiahiatia ana he wā tāpiri mō tētahi take (hei tauira, nā te rahi, te matatinitanga rānei o te kerēme, te hononga rānei ki ngā Ture 6.1 me te 6.2 i runga ake nei) ā, ka makona rātou kāore e whakararuraru i te whāinga o ngā Ture (tiro Ture 2.1). Ka taea te toronga o te wā i te tono a te Kaikau. Heoi anō, me tono tētahi tono i mua i te mōnehutanga o te rima o te Rā Mahi, ā, me kaua te Adjudicator e aro atu ki tētahi tono tōmuri, engari rawa mēnā he āhuatanga whakararuraru. Ka mutu te whakawāteatanga mehemea kua tōmuri te kerēme.

Urupare

16.10 Ka taea e te Respondent te mahi i tētahi kōrero hei whakautu ki te kerēme (te Urupare). Me whakauru te Urupare:

• (b) he aha nga take e tautohetohetia ana, he aha hoki;
• (c) ngā waea ki te kerēme;
• (d) ngā tārua o ētahi pūrongo tohunga, ngā tauākī kaiwhakaatu, ētahi atu tuhinga rānei e whakawhirinaki ana te Respondent; me
• (e) ngā tukunga mō ngā take pono, ā-ture hoki e pā ana ki te kerēme me te Urupare, me ngā tautohe a respondent ki aua take.

16.11 Me mahi te Respondent ki te Urupare i runga i te Adjudicator me ērā atu Rōpū i te tekau o ngā Rā Mahi i muri i te Rā Tōpūtanga (te Wā Urupare) e herea ana ki ngā Ture 16.21 me te 16.23 i raro nei. Ki te tōmuri te Urupare, ka haere tonu te Adjudication, engari me whakakahore te Adjudicator i te Urupare.

Kāore he karanga, engari e whakaaetia ana ngā waea me te tautuhi-weto

16.12 Ehara te Urupare i te wā hai mau mai i tētahi kaitatau.

Heoi anō, 16.13 Heoi anō, ka taea e te Urupare te whakauru i ngā wawao ki te kerēme e tuwhera ana ki te Respondent (ko te mea, i te ture rānei). Ehara i te mea mehemea kāore anō kia whakaarahia nga wawao, nga take rānei e hanga ana i te take o nga wawao.

16.14 Ka taea e te Urupare te whakauru i tētahi tono mō te tautuhi-weto, te whakararuraru rānei. Heoi anō, ko te mōrahi ka taea e te Adjudicator te whakawhiwhi ki te uara i kitea o te kerēme.

Whakautu

16.15 Ka taea e te kerēme te mahi i tētahi kōrero hei whakautu ki te Urupare (te Whakautu). Ka pā anake te mana mahi ki tētahi Whakautu mēnā ka tukuna te Urupare i roto i te Wā Urupare.

16.16 Me tino tika te whakautu ki te Urupare. Kāore e taea te whakaara i ētahi take hou. Kei roto pea ko ngā tuhinga tautoko me ngā whakaaturanga hōu ki te āhua e hāngai ana, hei whakautu hoki ki te Urupare.

16.17 Me mahi te kerēme i te Whakautu i runga i te Adjudicator me ērā atu Rōpū i te tekau mā rima o te Rā Mahi i muri i te Rā Whakawhiti (te Wā Whakautu) e herea ana ki ngā Ture 16.21 me te 16.23 i raro nei. Ki te tōmuri te Whakautu, ka haere tonu te Adjudication, engari me kaua te Adjudicator e aro atu ki te Whakautu.

Rejoinder

16.18 Ka taea e te Respondent te mahi i tētahi kōrero hei whakautu ki te Whakautu (te Rejoinder). Ka pā anake te mana ki te mahi i tētahi Rejoinder mēnā ka tukuna te Whakautu i roto i te Wā Whakautu.

16.19 Me tino tika te Rejoinder hei whakautu ki te Whakautu. Kāore e taea te whakaara i ētahi take hōu, engari kei roto pea ko ngā tuhinga tautoko.

16.20 Me mahi te Respondent ki te Rejoinder i runga i te Adjudicator me ērā atu Rōpū i te tekau mā waru o te Rā Mahi i muri i te Rā Whakawhiti (te Wā Rejoinder) e herea ana ki ngā Ture 16.21 me te 16.23 i raro nei. Ki te tōmuri te Rejoinder, ka haere tonu te Adjudication, engari me whakakahore te Adjudicator i te Rejoinder.

Ngā huringa ki te Urupare, Whakautu, Wā Whakahoki rānei

16.21 Me whakaroa atu e te Adjudicator te Wā Urupare, te Wā Whakautu me te Wā Whakahoki ki te wā kotahi ka whakaroa atu te Wā kerēme i raro i te Ture 16.9.

Ka taea e ngā Rōpū 16.22 te huri i te Wā Urupare, te Wā Whakautu, te Wā Whakahoki rānei mā te whakaaetanga i te tuhituhi. Kia pai ai, me whakamōhiotia ngā huringa ki te Adjudicator i mua i te mōnehutanga o te wā e hāngai ana.

16.23 Ka whakaae pea te Adjudicator i tētahi wā anō mō te Wā Urupare, te Wā Whakautu, te Wā Rejoinder rānei mēnā e whakaaro ana te Adjudicator e hiahiatia ana he wā tāpiri mō tētahi take (hei tauira, nā te rahi, te matatinitanga rānei o te kerēme, ā, he iti rawa te wā hei whakarite i tētahi Urupare hei hua, he hononga rānei ki ngā Ture 6.1 me te 6.2 i runga ake nei). Ka taea te toronga o te wā i te tono a tētahi Rōpū, i runga rānei i te mahi a te Kaiwhakahaere. Heoi anō, me mahi tētahi tono i mua i te mōnehutanga o te wā e hāngai ana, ā, me kaua te Adjudicator e aro atu ki tētahi tono tōmuri, engari rawa mēnā he āhuatanga whakararuraru.

Kua whakawhirinaki ngā tārua o ngā Kirimana ki

16.24 E tūmanakohia ana kia homai e nga Rōpū he tārua o ētahi Kirimana e whakawhirinaki ana. Heoi anō, mēnā kāore e taea e te Rōpū te mahi pēnei mō tētahi take (hei tauira, ki tētahi wāhi he Kirimana waha) ka nui rawa mēnā ka homai e te Rōpū ngā mōhiohio ki te āhua o tētahi oati tautohe. Me hoatu te oati tautohe ki te Kaiwhakahaere me ērā atu Rōpū, ā, me āpiti atu ngā tuhinga tautoko e wātea ana.

Whakaaro tōmua ka mahia te Whakakoretanga ki runga i nga pepa

16.25 Ka whakataua e te Kaiwhakahaere te Tautohe i runga anō i ngā Tukunga (engari me te whakakahore i tētahi Urupare, Whakautu, Rejoinder rānei kua tōmuri) me ētahi hui, ngā toro, ngā tirohanga rānei (tiro Ture 21.12).

Heoi anō, 16.26 Heoi anō, i runga i te tono a te Rōpū, me whakatau e te Kaiwhakahaere mēnā ka whakarongo ā-waha mō te whakaaturanga o te whakaaturanga, mo te tautohe ā-waha rānei. I muri i te whakawhiwhinga atu ki nga Rōpū, ka pupuri pea te Adjudicator i aua whakarongo pērā i a rātau e whakaaro ana ki te tika, me whakatika hoki te rā, te wā, te āhua, te hātepe, me te wāhi whakarongo. Ki te kore e whakaaetia e nga Rōpū, ka rongo pea te Adjudicator i ngā kaiwhakaatu me te whakahaere whakarongo mā ngā tikanga katoa e whakaaro ana rātau ki te māia, ki te pai, ki tētahi tauwāhi hoki e whakaarotia ana e rātau e tika ana i roto i ngā āhuatanga katoa. Ka tū pea tētahi whakarongo, mā te ataata, mā te hui waea rānei, mā tētahi pahekotanga rānei o ēnei aratuka.

Mutunga o te Whakawāteatanga

16.27 Ka mutu te whakawāteatanga ina hoatu he Determination ki ngā Rōpū, ā, i ngā wā katoa mō te whakatika, te whakamāramatanga rānei kua pau (tiro Ture 17.22 ki te 17.27), mēnā rānei kāore te Kaikau i te mahi ki te kerēme i roto i te wā (tiro Ture 16.9).

16.28 Ka taea hoki e te Adjudicator te whakamutu i te whakaritenga mō tā rātou ake mahi mēnā ka whakaaro rātou he koretake, e kore rānei e taea te haere tonu te Adjudication (hei tauira, nā te mea kua unuhia te kerēme i raro i te Ture 20, nā te mea kāore rānei he mana mō te Adjudication). Ki te whakamutua te Adjudication mo tēnei take, ka whakamōhio atu te kaiwhakahaere ki nga rōpū me AotearoaDRC.

16.29 Kāore te matenga o te Rōpū e whakamutu i te Adjudication, ā, ka whakakapia te tangata mate ki to rātau māngai ture. Kāore tēnei Ture e pā ana mēnā kua whakaae kē ngā Rōpū, mēnā rānei ka tineia he take mahi e te ture mo te matenga o te tangata.

Ngā whakahēnga ki te tukatuka, ki te mana rānei

16.30 Me tere te whakaara a te Rōpū i tētahi whakahē e hiahiatia ana e rātau:

• (b) ngā rahunga a tētahi atu Rōpū, te Kaiwhakahaere rānei hei whakaū i ēnei Ture;
• (c) he hēnga e pā ana ki te whanonga o te Adjudication; rānei

16.31 Mēnā kāore he whakahē (ētahi atu i te take o te Ture 16.30(d) ki runga ake) i roto i ngā Rā Mahi e rua o te takahanga, e kiia ana kua whakarerea e tētahi Rōpū to rātau mana ki te ahanoa ā muri ake. Kāore tēnei Ture e pā mēnā ka taea e te Rōpū te whakaatu, i te wā e hāngai ana, kāore rātau i mōhio ki ngā take mo te whakahē, ā, kāore i taea (me te uaua tika) te kite i ngā take mo te whakahē.

16.32 Ka taea e te Kaiwhakahaere te kōwhiri kia whakahaere i ngā take mana i mua, hei wāhanga rānei o te Whakakoretanga o ngā take nui.

Pāpāho

16.33 Mēnā, i te wā o te Adjudication, ka tohutohu nga Rōpū i te Adjudicator i runga i te tuhituhi kua whakaae rātau ki te pānui i ta rātau Tautohe ki te Pāpāho, me noho tonu te Adjudicator i ngā takahanga hei whakangāwari i te whanonga o te Pāpāho. Ka whakaroa ngā tepe wā katoa i raro i ēnei Ture e te roanga o te Pāpāho.

Āhua o te Whakakorenga

17.13 Me tuhituhi te Whakamatenga, ā, me haina, kia hāngai hoki ki te Adjudicator.

17.14 Kāore te rahunga ki te waitohu me te rā e kore te Whakawāteatanga e pā ki te mana o te Whakakoretanga.

Timing of Determination

17.19 Me whakarite e te Kaiwhakahaere to rātau Whakamatetanga i roto i te 25 rā Mahi i muri i te kōrerotanga o te Tautohe ki te Aronui, ki tērā wā roa ake rānei:

• (b) E whakaaro ana te Kaiwhakahaere e tika ana (hei tauira, nā te rahi, te matatinitanga rānei o te kerēme, te whakaae rānei ki te manawa o tētahi wāhi tuatahi o te ture a te Kōti Tiketike, i te whakarongo ā-waha rānei).

Heoi anō, 17.20 Hei hoatu i te wā o ngā Rōpū hei mahi i ngā Tukunga, me tatari te Adjudicator tae noa ki te mutunga o te Wā Urupare, ā, (mēnā e hāngai ana) i tētahi Wā Whakautu, Rejoinder Period, i tētahi atu wā rānei i whakapūtātia e te Adjudicator mō ngā Tukunga i mua i te whakaritenga o te Whakakoretanga.

Ka hoatu e NZDRC 17.21 te manawa ki nga Rōpū i te wā tonu ka hainatia e te Kaiwhakahaere.

Wā mō te whakatika, whakamāramatanga rānei

17.22 Ka tono pea te Rōpū i tētahi whakatikatanga o te Whakakoretanga, i tētahi whakamāramatanga rānei o ngā tohutohu i roto i te Whakakoretanga mā te whai i te tukanga i whakaritea ki ngā Ture 17.23 ki te 17.27.

17.23 Me whakarato tētahi tono ki te Kaiwhakahaere me ērā atu Rōpū, ā, me mahi i roto i ngā Rā Mahi e rua o te rā e hoatu ai he kape o te Whakakoretanga ki nga Rōpū. Ka taea e te Adjudicator te whakaroa atu i tēnei wā ki te whakaaro rātau e hiahiatia ana he wā tāpiri hei tono.

17.24 Ka tono pea tētahi tono ki te Kaiwhakahaere ki:

• (b) hoatu he whakamāramatanga anō ki tētahi ahunga, tētahi wāhanga rānei o tētahi ahunga i roto i te Whakakoretanga kāore i te mārama te whakapuaki kia taea ai e ngā Rōpū te mahi i ngā tohutohu o te Whakahekenga.

17.25 Mēnā e whakaaro ana te Adjudicator e whakatautika ana te tono, ka whakamahia e te Adjudicator ā rātou whāinga tino pai hei whakatika, hei hoatu rānei i te whakamāramatanga i roto i ngā Rā Mahi e toru o te rā e hoatu ai he kape o te Whakakorenga ki ngā Rōpū. Tērā pea ka whakaroa atu e te Adjudicator te wā e tika ana, te wā mō te whakatikatika i ngā whakahau, tohutohu rānei i mahia i roto i te Whakakoretanga nā tētahi tono whakatika.

17.26 Ka taea hoki e te Adjudicator te whakatika i ētahi hapa i roto i te whakakotahitanga, i ngā hapa ā-roto, i ngā hapa ā-roto rānei, i ētahi hapa rānei o tētahi āhuatanga ōrite i roto i te Whakakorenga i a rātou ake mahi. Me mahi ngā whakatikatanga o tēnei momo i roto i ngā Rā Mahi e toru o te rā e hoatu ai he kape o te Whakakorenga ki nga Rōpū.

17.27 Kāore e taea te whakauru i ētahi atu utu ki te Utu a Adjudicator mō te whakatika, te whakamāramatanga rānei.

18.0 Pānga me te Whakaūtanga o te Whakakoretanga

E herea ana te whakakorenga

18.1 E herea ana te Whakakoretanga ki ngā Rōpū, engari rawa, kia whakatauria rā anō te Tautohe e ngā takahanga ā-ture i tētahi kōti (tiro Ture 18.9 me te 18.11), te whakaaetanga whai muri rānei i waenganui i ngā Rōpū.

Pātahitanga ki ētahi atu takahanga
