Official Information Act Request (Our Ref: OIA/0371)
We refer to your Official Information Act request of 23 May 2024 which we inadvertently
missed.
Please advise how many referrals were made to the Director of Human Rights Proceedings in
relation to each financial year since 2019/20. (Previous years are shown in the annual reports.)
I realise that the figures for 2023/24 wil not capture the complete financial year.
For the period fol owing the commencement of the Privacy Act 2020 (from 1 December 2020) would
you please indicate under which sections of the Act the various referrals were made.
My response
Your request is granted as set out below:
2019/2020
2020/2021
2021/2022
2022/2023
2023/2024

Following the commencement of the Privacy 2020, sections of the Act under which
the various referrals were made:
One referral was made under s94(4)(a); the other under s78.
I trust this provides you with the information sought. If you are not satisfied with this response,
under section 28 of the Official Information Act 1982 you have the right to ask the Ombudsman
to investigate and review my decision on your request, although we would appreciate the
opportunity to discuss this with you first.
