Thank you for your email of letter of 29 January 2022, asking for the following information under the
Official Information Act 1982 (the Act):

from the field of sexual abuse survivors and or current abuse survivors also most importantly all
Accident Compensation Corporation cases Accident Compensation Corporation lost in court or by
mediation relating to sexual abuse survivors being neglected by Accident Compensation Corporation

ACC needs extra time
The Act requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no later than 20 working days after the
day we received your request. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit and we are
therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the time to make our decision, to 14 March 2022.
This extension is required because consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are such
that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit.

Please contact me o
n [email address] if you would like to talk about this letter. I will be
happy to answer any questions or, if you have any concerns, work with you to resolve these.
If you are not happy with this response, you have the right to make a complaint to the Ombudsman.
Information about how to do this is available at
