Dear Sean
Thank you for your email of 20 October 2022 to Kāinga Ora - Homes and Communities,
requesting the following information under the Official Information Act, 1982 (the Act):
Please provide a copy of all documents served in Kāinga Ora in relation to the High Court
application against you by Winton Land Limited. In particular, please I include the Statement
of Claim.
Access to documents in a court proceeding is a matter for the Court. We suggest that you
engage directly with the Court under the Senior Courts (Access to Court Documents) Rules
2017.
Your request is therefore refused under section 18(c)(i) of the Act, as the making available of
the information requested would be contrary to the Senior Courts (Access to Court
Documents) Rules 2017.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this response
to your request. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or by calling 0800 802 602.
Kāinga Ora proactively releases its responses to official information request where possible,
and our response to your request may be published at
www.kaingaora.govt.nz/publications/
official-information-requests/ with your personal information removed.
Yours sincerely
Don Badman
Acting Manager, Government Relations
