DC Recording process and transcription service

Daniel Thomas made this Official Information request to Ministry of Justice

The request was successful.

From: Daniel Thomas

Dear Ministry of Justice,

I would like to get information about the recording process and the transcription service of the hearings held at the District Courts.

1. Specifically I would like to know the governance process and the roles and responsibilities relating to the recording of the hearings and the transcription service.

2. My understanding is that the recording is a relatively failsafe process. But I would like to get some data about the number of District Court hearings that wasn't recorded by the system (if any). (I can narrow down my request to the failed recordings in the 2022 - 2023 years.)

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,

Daniel Thomas

Dear Williams, Talyn,

I am sorry for the confusion. I am happy to receive information just about the ‘roles and responsibilities relating to the recording of the hearing and the transcription service’. Thank you.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Williams, Talyn,

Just for clarification; if you could disregard the words “governance process” from my request. Everything else stays the same. Thank you. And sorry again for the confusion.

Yours sincerely,

Daniel Thomas
