Thank you for emailing the Ministry of Justice (the Ministry).

 

We acknowledge receipt of your request under the Official Information Act
1982.  Specifically, you requested:

 

o Please provide how many prosecutions there have been for any that are
subject to the act that have actually been convicted of failing to
comply with the act. To be specific I am asking for prosecutions of
any that are subject to the act where they failed to comply with the
act in response to receiving a lawful official information act
request.
o Please provide this data year by year since the OIA 1982 came into
law.

 

 

This has been forwarded onto the relevant business unit to respond to. 

 

The Ministry 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). 

 

You can expect a response by 31/10/2024.

 

 

Nga Mihi,

Tēnā koe M Bell,

 

The Ministry of Justice does not hold statistical information on court
rulings about the Official Information Act (the Act), where it was deemed
that the Act was not followed. Your specific request for this information,
made on 29 October 2024, is further refused under section 18(g) of the
Act, as the information requested is not held by the Ministry and there
are no grounds for believing it is held by another agency or Minister that
is subject to the Act.

 

The main responsibility for overseeing compliance with the Act sits with
the Office of the Ombudsman. If you wish to contact the Ombudsman you can
do so by email to: [1][email address] or by phone on: 0800
802 602.

 

Additionally, you have asked for information specifically on court
rulings. Please be advised that this is considered court information which
is not subject to the Act, under section 2(6)(a) of the Act. More
information on what can be requested under the Act can be found at:
[2]https://www.ombudsman.parliament.nz/reso...

 

The Ministry is unable to provide you any further information on the
subject of your request.

 

If you are not satisfied with this response, you have the right to make a
complaint to the Ombudsman under section 28(3) of the Act, using the
contact information advised above.

 

Ngā mihi,

 

Katarina
