Subject: [EXTERNAL] Official Information request - Awards of costs

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.

Dear New Zealand Police,

Please provide the following for each of the calendar years 2013 to 2023 inclusive:

1. The number of costs orders (however described) in the Police records, made by any court or tribunal against the New Zealand Police, however categorised by the Police, summarised nationally and also broken down by Police administrative region. Please ensure that the information is presented with the reason for each cost order as recorded by the Police department's own records. In other words, I want to know how many awards of costs, in any court or tribunal, were made against the Police, both nationally and by region, how much each one was, and the reason the Police have recorded for the payment being ordered. If the costs awards were made to another government department please advise which department the payment relates to. In relation to payments to non-governmental legal persons, I do not need to know who the payments were made to but I do want to know whether the payment was made to a corporate entity or a private individual or group of individuals. Please ensure that the court or tribunal making the order is identified in relation to each payment.

2. The number of payments made to other parties as a result of litigation, again summarised nationally and broken down by region, as well as a description of the type of litigation the payment arose from, and whether the payment was made to a corporate entity or an individual person or group of persons.

Yours faithfully,

I Brown
