Kia ora Alan Thompson,

 

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of 19 December 2023 requesting under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:

 

‘Some weeks ago (6 Dec 2023) I lodged a query with the Client Services
desk of the Companies Office. My query was passed across the desk to the
unit that looks after Incorporated Societies. In spite of assurances that
I would be contacted within 3 working days and further phones calls
querying why there was no response, I still have not had my question
answered. I now seek under the provisions of the Official Information Act
the following information that your Client Services desk seem to be unable
or unwilling to provide. Please advise and/or provide the documentation
that sets out the strategy and procedures that you will follow to review
and check that each of the 23,000 Incorporated Societies constitutions
comply with the new 2022 Act when they lodge them to re-register prior to
the 2026 date.’

 

Please note that the days from 25 December 2023 to 15 January 2024
(inclusive) are defined as non- working days in the Act and are not
counted in the calculation for the response due date. This may affect the
time period for responding to your request.

 

We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible, and no
later than 8 February 2024, being 20 working days after the day your
request was received. If we are unable to respond to your request by then,
we will notify you of an extension of that timeframe.  If you have any
enquiries regarding your request feel free to contact us via email to
[1][MBIE request email].
