Hearings and Schedule 

Hearing schedule 

Please note that dates and times are subject to change, occasionally with little or no notice. 

A hearing on the papers means that there is no actual hearing. Rather, the two parties involved (the teacher and the CAC) make their submissions and give evidence in writing. The Tribunal issues a written decision after reading the submissions and evidence. It is common for a scheduled hearing to become a hearing on the papers without notice. 

The Tribunal may make an order for all or parts of a hearing to be private, in which case only those directly involved in the hearing (such as the teacher, lawyers and advocates, Tribunal members and witnesses) are able to attend. 

If you are media wishing to attend a hearing, please email media@teachingcouncil.nz with as much notice as possible.
