Time Extension of your Official Information Act request, reference: GOV-033633
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:
1/ Please disclose the number of High Court Hearings that have been Initiated by Claimants in
taking the ACC to the High Court for respective years 2010 to date 2/ Please disclose the number of High Court Hearings that have been Initiated by Claimants in

taking the ACC to the High Court for respective years 2010 to date that have resulted in Favor of the
ACC Where the ACC has been Awarded Court Costs to be Paid by Claimant
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.
