Subject: Official Information request - OIA 118918 Luke letter.pdf- update

 

 

 

Dear Ministry of Justice,

 

Thank you for your recent reply- OIA 118918 Luke letter.pdf

 

Within your reply, I noted "28 applications have been received" and "The
Ministry hopes to be able to appoint three new Community Magistrates.
Ideally each to be appointed to be based in Auckland, Hamilton and
Whangarei."

Can you please confirm within that 28 applications, how many are from
Auckland, how many are from Hamilton and how many are from Whangarei. I
presume within the application they must indicate which city's position
they are applying to.

 

"Warrants are issued to people appointed as Community Magistrates. A copy
of an example warrant is attached to this letter as document 2 and
released to you with some information withheld under section 9(2)(a) of
the Act to protect the privacy of natural persons. " I have not received
this document 2, can you please send it to me. Thank you

 

With regards to the "selected for training" can you please let me know
what sort of training you are referring to and how long the training will
be? Am I able to request the training materials or PPT used during the
last round of the training?

 

I also noted there is a mentioned of "official swearing-in ceremony", can
you please let me know where is that took place during the last
appointment round? 

 

"A previous appointment round sought the appointment of three Community
Magistrates. Five candidates were selected for training." May I ask what
happened to the two candidates who were not appointed? Was it because they
didn’t pass the training, or is there a specific selection criteria that
comes into play after the training concludes? Also, did 5 candidates all
attend the training?

 

Yours faithfully,

 

john luke
