Thank you for contacting the Ministry of Justice
[1][email address] mailbox.　 You can expect to
hear from us within two business days of your email being received.

The Ministry of Justice holds a wide range of information that we can
provide to you.  If you would like to see more about how we can help you
please see our [2]Official Information Act Requests page.

Please note that the Ministry of Justice can't give legal advice. For
legal advice, you should contact a lawyer, Community Law or Citizens’
Advice Bureau.

If you are requesting information held by the courts, such as sentencing
notes, court records or information about a case currently before the
court, the records of courts and tribunals are not subject to the Official
Information Act 1982. Access to these is subject to separate legislation
and [3]court rules and you will need to contact the relevant court
directly. The details for the courts can be found [4]here.

For information held by other agencies, such as the New Zealand Police,
check out the [5]Directory of Official Information to find out what
information each agency holds and their contact details.
