Test case litigation program

Purpose of the program

The test case litigation program (the program) aims to clarify the operation of laws administered by us where there is uncertainty or contention. We provide test case funding to your client when a case involves a genuine question of uncertainty or contention and may have implications beyond the individual case to a broader section of the public. Such cases may be better served by seeking a judicial decision from a court which has the final say on what the laws mean.

For more information about the program, see Commonly asked questions.
