Dear Crown Law Office,

Please provide any written guidelines (or other rules, etc) that are taken into account by Crown Law when they determine whether to initiate or continue civil proceedings by and against the crown. Please provide any reference documents in relation to civil bill of rights claims & defamation proceedings.

Please include information summarising the factors/criteria applied by Crown Law when they determine whether to initiate or continue civil proceedings by and against the crown.

I am a New Zealand citizen residing in Auckland my entire life so I am more than eligible to request this information.
