Subject: Official Information request - Financial Cost for Auckland
Council to appeal decision

 

 

Dear Auckland Council,

Earlier this year a decision was made by Judge Maria Pecotic regarding a
dog named Zeus who had bitten the hand of someone trying to pat him.
However the Auckland Council appealed that decision and ultimately the dog
was ordered destroyed.
My question is what was the financial cost due to the Auckland Council
appealing that decision.

Yours faithfully,

Rose
