Dear Mr Creser

 

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of 3 July 2017 requesting under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:

 

An article in the New Zealand Law Society website on 03 February 2017
refers to the General Manager of Integrity Services, Mr Ross van der
Schyff as a lawyer amd former partner in a law firm.

The NZLS is unable to confirm any of Mr van der Schyffs detatils because
he does not hold a current practising certificate, therefore I would like
to request that you please confirm-

 

1) When and where did your General Manager obtain his law degree.?

2) The name of the law firm he was a partner in?

3) The last time he held a practising certificate?

4) Why the MBIE does not require its Registrar to hold a practising
certificate?

 

Your request is being processed in accordance with the Act and a response
will be sent to you in due course. If you have any enquiries regarding
your request feel free to contact us via email [2][MBIE request email] or
using the contact details below.

 

 

Yours sincerely,

Alan Witcombe
