3- (from Jan 2023 to present) The number of successful mediation
4- (from Jan 2023 to present) Of the PGs raised, how many went to Employment Relations Authority ?
5- (from Jan 2023 to present) How many cases were found against the Ministry ?
6- (from Jan 2023 to present) How much money – in total- were paid to settle these cases / or pay the fee required by Employment Relations Act (not necessarily meaning those that went to 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,

As advised yesterday, please find below information to respond to the two
remaining parts of your Official Information Act request of 25 January
2024, (our reference 2324-1540), as outlined in the table below:
Question Information sought
2 (from Jan 2023 to present) The number of Mediations that took
place
3 (from Jan 2023 to present) The number of successful mediation[s]
We can advise that the total number of mediations involving MBIE staff in
the time period of your request is eight, of which six have now been
settled.
When reading this information, please note:
o We don’t have a measure of ‘successful’ mediations, so the number
being provided to you is that of the number of settled mediations per
year.
o The difference between the total number of mediations and the number
of settled mediations is accounted for by mediations that are either
not yet settled, were withdrawn, or are partially settled.
Thank you again for writing to MBIE. Under section 28 of the OIA, you have
the right to refer our response to your request to an Ombudsman for
review. You can find more information about how to do this by emailing
[1][email address], or by calling 0800 802 602.
