Kia ora Zane,

The Ministry can only reiterate what was said in our response to you dated 14 May 2019.

Court staff will usually direct self-represented litigants in the Family Court to information on the Ministry's website. This information can be found here: justice.govt.nz/family/about/without-a-lawyer/. There are no written guides or policies for court staff to direct self-represented litigants in the Family Court.

Ngā mihi,

Dear Jackson, Lydia,
Thanks for sending the response.

I just want to clarify because the response is a bit vague.

Are you telling me that the court staff and registry has no guidelines/ SOP or instructions on what information/ advice they can provide the self-represented litigants in the family court? Does it mean that they leave it to the court staff and registry to decide if they want to provide information/advice to the public?

Yours sincerely,

Zane Collins
