Dear Erika,

As per the 15 November response to your OIA, decisions about the publication of judgments and associated documents are court information.

Courts and Tribunals are judicial bodies that operate independently from the Government. The Ministry of Justice does not hold court information.

The District Court website publishes a selection of judgments from the criminal, family, youth and civil jurisdictions of the District Court, including COVID-19 related judgments. These are selected against criteria and policy set by the District Court judicial leadership.

These criteria and policy documents are court information that is not subject to the Act.

You also have the right to make a complaint to the Ombudsman under section 28(3) of the Act. The Office of the Ombudsman may be contacted by email at [email address] or by phone on 0800 802 602.

ngā mihi,
