University of Otago

Beyond its more controversial bargaining and contracting provisions, New Zealand's Employment Contracts Act 1991 incorporated procedures for the resolution of rights disputes centred in an Employment Tribunal, newly estab lished by the Act as a 'low-level, informal, specialist' body to provide 'speedy, fair, and just resolution of differences between parties to employment con tracts'.
