Tēnā koe Mr Collins
 
I refer to your Official Information Act (OIA) request dated 10 June 2021
detailed in the email below. 

 

Your request has been partially transferred to the Ministry of Justice
(MOJ). Some of the information to which your request relates, namely “How
many charges were dismissed?” and “How many were convicted?” is believed
to be held by and more closely connected with the functions of MOJ. In
these circumstances, we are required by section 14 of the OIA to transfer
your request.

 

You will hear further from MOJ concerning your request. They can be
