Kia ora,

Thank you for contacting the Official Information Act request mailbox for
the Ministry of Justice. 

We will endeavour to acknowledge your email within 2 working days.

You can find more information about how we can help you at our [1]Official
Information Act Requests page.

Please note that by law, when you ask for official information we have to
respond to your request as soon as reasonably practicable and no later
than 20 working days after we receive it.  However, over the holiday
period in December and January there is a three week period that doesn’t
count as ‘working days’

For Official Information Act (OIA) requests, that period is 25 December to
15 January, inclusive. That means any OIA requests submitted on 27
November or later may take a bit longer than you expected.

 

The Ministry of Justice may publish the response to your request on our
website, you can expect that if your OIA is to be published that this will
take place at least 10 working days after it has been sent you. Your name
and any other personal information will be withheld under Section 9(2)(a)
(protect the privacy of natural persons).

 

Please send any non-OIA related emails through to
o[2][email address] and any complaints through
to [3][email address]

Ngâ mihi,

Subject: Official Information request - Cost of PG
 
Dear Ministry of Justice,
 
I am doing a research on the cost of Personal grievance that the
Government is incurring in the last 3 years. Can I request under the
Official Information Act
 
1- The number of Personal Grievances raised in your Ministry, in the last
3 years broken down by year , and categories (for example: Bullying,
Unjustifiably disadvantaged, constructive dismissal etc)
 
2- (in the last 3 years) The number of Mediation that took place broken
down by year
 
3- (in the last 3 years) The number of successful mediation broken down by
year
 
4- (in the last 3 years) Of the PGs raised, how many went to Employment
Relations Authority broken down by year?
 
5- (in the last 3 years) How many cases were found against the Ministry
broken down by year?
 
6- (in the last 3 years) How much money – in total- were paid to settle
these cases / or pay the fee required by ERA broken down by year?
 
7- How much money was covered by the Ministry’s liability insurance?
 
8- (in the last 3 years) How much money – in total – were paid to external
Legal consultants to defend the cases filed in ERA or to prepare the
responses to the case broken down by year?
 
9- (in the last 3 years) How many ERA cases resulted in reinstatement of
employee broken down by year?
 
10- If a case is found against the Ministry (the Ministry lost), what are
the consequences to the Manager involved in the incident?
 
Yours faithfully,
 
Jean Roberts
