Lists and sources
Every entry on the register comes from a list that a court publishes on its own website. This page records each list, who publishes it, how the register reads it, and the most recent date for which entries exist. For every court and tribunal in New Zealand, including those that publish no list, see the Court directory.

How collection works
Lists are read every morning and afternoon, New Zealand time. Most are schedules of upcoming hearings, so an entry usually appears days or weeks before its hearing date and is kept afterwards. Each line of a list becomes one entry. Changes a court makes between collections are picked up at the next collection. Lists for past dates are kept.
Fields are reproduced as published. Case names, party names and hearing types are not edited or interpreted beyond trimming whitespace. Where a court does not publish a field (for example a courtroom) the entry shows it as not stated.
