The request was partially successful.
From: Jean Roberts
Dear Ministry of Justice,
I am doing a research on the cost of Personal grievance that the Government is incurring in the last 3 years. Can I request under the Official Information Act
1- The number of Personal Grievances raised in your Ministry, in the last 3 years broken down by year , and categories (for example: Bullying, Unjustifiably disadvantaged, constructive dismissal etc)
2- (in the last 3 years) The number of Mediation that took place broken down by year
3- (in the last 3 years) The number of successful mediation broken down by year
4- (in the last 3 years) Of the PGs raised, how many went to Employment Relations Authority broken down by year?
5- (in the last 3 years) How many cases were found against the Ministry broken down by year?
6- (in the last 3 years) How much money – in total- were paid to settle these cases / or pay the fee required by ERA broken down by year?
7- How much money was covered by the Ministry’s liability insurance?
8- (in the last 3 years) How much money – in total – were paid to external Legal consultants to defend the cases filed in ERA or to prepare the responses to the case broken down by year?
9- (in the last 3 years) How many ERA cases resulted in reinstatement of employee broken down by year?
10- If a case is found against the Ministry (the Ministry lost), what are the consequences to the Manager involved in the incident?
Yours faithfully,
Jean Roberts

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
