Published appeal record of Nelson advisers

10 published appeals name advisers based in Nelson, across 2 of the 12 listed here, most recently 24 April 2024. “Allowed” is the appellant’s share of decided appeals; a percentage is shown only where at least 5 were decided.

Counts come from decisions the tribunal has published and that name a representative we can identify with certainty. Appeals settled, withdrawn or resolved before a decision do not appear, so this is a record of published outcomes rather than of everything a practitioner has done. How matching works is set out in the methodology.
