60. Tribunal may review and change an insurer's decision



(1) The Tribunal may review any decision of an insurer with respect to
anything arising from any required insurance under the Building Act 1993 that
a builder is covered by in relation to domestic building work or from a
guarantee under the House Contracts Guarantee Act 1987 or from an indemnity
under Part 6 of the House Contracts Guarantee Act 1987.



(2) Despite subsection (1), the Tribunal does not have any power to review a
decision of an insurer-

   (a)  to refuse to insure, or to refuse to renew or extend the insurance of,
        a builder; or

   (b)  concerning premiums or charges to be paid for any insurance or the
        conditions under which any insurance will be offered, renewed or
        extended.

(3) After conducting a review, the Tribunal may confirm, annul, vary or
reverse the decision, and may make any order necessary to give effect to its
decision.
