Thank you for emailing the Ministry of Justice regarding your case. The information you are requesting is a court record and not held by the Ministry of Justice.

Information held by the courts, sentencing notes, court records, transcriptions or information about a case currently before the court are the records of courts and tribunals and are not subject to the Official Information Act 1982.
Access to these is dealt with by separate legislation and court rules and you will need to contact the relevant court directly, the details for the courts can be found here https://www.courtsofnz.govt.nz/utilities...

You do not have to request information in person from the courts. You can do so by contacting them and filling out an application. This can be done via email or by post.

Here is a link to the form you will need to complete https://www.justice.govt.nz/assets/Docum...

Ngā mihi,
Rose
