Dear Zachariah

Thank you for email requesting all information regarding CRI-2020-009-1708.

The information you have requested is court information and is not subject to the Official Information Act 1982, as per section 2(6) of the Act/Privacy Act 1993 as per section 2(1)(b)(vii). This is because the Courts and judiciary are not part of the Ministry and are independent of the executive branch of the government.

For the purposes of the Act, I am refusing your request for information under section 18(g) on the basis that this information is not held by the Ministry (because it is court information).  You have the right to seek a review of my decision by the Ombudsman under section 28(3) of the Act.  The Ombudsman can be contacted at this website: www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.
You must apply directly to the relevant court for access to court information. This may attract a fee. Please note that access to court information is governed by specific search rules and the inherent authority of the courts to regulate access to the information under its supervision.

Your request will be considered by either the Registrar or, if necessary, a Judge. Any decision relating to the release of court information is a judicial decision. The Ministry of Justice cannot intervene or comment on this decision-making process.
Court contact details can be found at the following link: www.justice.govt.nz/contact-us/find-us/ OR
The form to make a court record search can be found on our website here:

Please contact us if you have questions or need any further assistance.

Kind regards
Taylor
