Kia ora,

Thank you for contacting the Official Information Act request mailbox for
the Ministry of Justice. 

We will endeavour to acknowledge your email within 2 working days.

You can find more information about how we can help you at our [1]Official
Information Act Requests page.

Please note that by law, when you ask for official information we have to
respond to your request as soon as reasonably practicable and no later
than 20 working days after we receive it.  However, over the holiday
period in December and January there is a three week period that doesn’t
count as ‘working days’

For Official Information Act (OIA) requests, that period is 25 December to
15 January, inclusive. That means any OIA requests submitted on 27
November or later may take a bit longer than you expected.

 

The Ministry of Justice may publish the response to your request on our
website, you can expect that if your OIA is to be published that this will
take place at least 10 working days after it has been sent you. Your name
and any other personal information will be withheld under Section 9(2)(a)
(protect the privacy of natural persons).

 

Please send any non-OIA related emails through to
o[2][email address] and any complaints through
to [3][email address]

Ngâ mihi,

Tēnā koe Ben

 

Your inquiry below has been passed to me respond to.  I have set out the
general steps taken by the counter team when they receive a Statement of
Claim.

Documents filed, physically and electronically, are prioritised in order
of receipt and urgency.

 

General Proceedings & Part 18s

o Administrative checks

o Check that it’s filed in correct registry
o Check that all required documents are filed
o Check that the documents comply with relevant legislation
o Check filing fee is paid

o If rejecting them a letter/email will be sent advising of the issues
and suggest appropriate fixes
o If accepting them

o Enter in to CMS and get file number
o Allocate case manager
o Scan duplicates back to filer and advise case managers contact
details – case manager is copied in.
o Post hard copy duplicates to the filing solicitor
o Make up electronic file
o Make up physical file and refer to case manager

Company Liquidations

o All of the same actions above except a date of first call date is
allocated and the date populated in the Notice of Proceeding.

o Hard copy of duplicates returned to filing solicitor
o Make up electronic file
o Make up physical file and refer to case manager

 

Fees – if fees have been paid at the front counter using Eftpos, they will
be receipted and a receipt emailed or sent to the filer.

If fees are paid through file and pay a copy of the receipt is saved to
the electronic file and printed for the physical file.

If a fee waiver is filed it will be considered by a deputy registrar and
once a decision is made the required Ministry applications are populated
and a letter of advice generated.

 

Please come back to me if I can help any further.
