Request for information
Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request of 30 May 2024. You
requested:
I am a year 11 history student on the disappearance of Ben Smart and Olivia
Hope and wanted to request the possibility of getting access any documents I
could use for my project.
The case relating to the disappearance of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope is currently
proceeding through the Court of Appeal. Your request is therefore refused in full under
section 6(c) of the OIA, as the making available of the information would be likely to
prejudice the right to a fair trial.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this
decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
