Stop Work Notices/Orders

Ben made this Official Information request to Public Service Commission

The request was partially successful.

From: Ben

Dear Public Service Commission,

In media articles various Ministers have been described as issuing "stop work Notices" or "Stop work orders". One example in relation to transport would be here:
https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programme...

1. Is there such a power?
2. If not, is there an alternative power (but called something else)?
3. Can such a power be used to halt work by local government?
4. Can such a power be used to halt work required by legislation?
5. If the answer to any of these questions is yes, in what circumstances can it be used or what legal test must be met?
6. How many "stop work" orders, notices or however else described have been issued, by whom, and on what date?

Yours faithfully,

Ben
