The Employment Court of New Zealand (Māori: Te Kooti Take-a-mihi o Aotearoa) is a specialist court for employment disputes.
It mainly deals with issues arising under the Employment Relations Act 2000.
The court heard industrial disputes, made and interpreted awards, and set minimum standards of employment.
These elements continued through a number of successive acts until repeal in 1973.
