The following guidelines apply:

* Portfolio related correspondence will be considered and responded to
where appropriate.
* If your email is an invitation or request to meet with the Minister,
your request will be processed and a staff member will be in contact
in due course. As the Minister receives a high volume of invitations,
it is not always possible to respond immediately.
* Media queries will be responded to by a staff member.
* Requests for official information will be managed in accordance with
the provisions of the Official Information Act 1982, which may include
a transfer to a more relevant Minister or agency.

responsibilities, your correspondence may be transferred to another

Subject: Official Information request - Senior judges retirement dates

Dear David Parker,

Could you please provide the date that each of the current judges of the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal will reach their mandatory retirement age under s 133 of the Senior Courts Act 2016?

I assume you hold this information in your capacity as Attorney-General, as you will need to know when to plan to appoint more judges to these roles.

If this is not the case, could you please advise how you know when you need to appoint new judges to these courts?

Yours faithfully,

George Russell
