As discussed with Dion Gardner today, please find enclosed a copy of an email from K Roe. 
K Roe is requesting information under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) relating to 
the costs of external counsel legal fees Chapman Tripp required the NZVCC to pay to defend 
Chris Whelan in court. 
 
As this  request  is  more  closely  connected  to  the  functions  of  your  organisation,  we  are 
transferring this request to you under sections 14(b)(ii) of the Act. Please consider this email 
as an official transfer. 
 
We  have  written  to  K Roe,  to  advise  them  that the request has been  transferred  to  your 
organisation, and to expect a direct response from you.
