Time Extension of your Official Information Act request, reference: GOV-004097
Thank you for your email of 5 March 2020, asking for information about the Remote Claims Unit and Te Ara
Tika under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act).
ACC needs extra time
The Act requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no later than 20 working days after the
day we received your request. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit and we are
therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the time to make our decision, to 5 May 2020.
This extension is necessary because consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are such
that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit.
Questions about this decision
Please contact me o
n [email address] if you have questions about this extension.
If you are not happy with this response, you have the right to make a complaint to the Ombudsman.
Information about how to do this is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or by phoning 0800 802
602.
