Thank you for your email of 9 July 2024, requesting information under the Official Information Act 1982 
(the Act). Your request is an amendment of your official information request of 11 June 2024, which asked 
the following:

taking the ACC to the High Court for respective years 2010 to date that have resulted in Favor of the

Your amended request of 9 July 2024 asks for this information, but for the past five years only. 
 
ACC needs extra time 
The Act requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no later than 20 working days after the 
day we received your request. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit and we are 
therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the time to make our decision, to 3 September 2024. 
 
This extension is necessary because consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are such 
that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit. 
 
If you are not happy with this letter 
You have the right to make a complaint to the Ombudsman. Information about how to do this is available 
at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or by phoning 0800 802 602. 
 
Ngā mihi
