Guidance for charging document acceptance by Registrar
Bevan Ellis made this Official Information request to Ministry of Justice
The request was refused by Ministry of Justice.
From: Bevan Ellis
Dear Ministry of Justice,
According to your response to OIA 108818, a small number of charging documents filed by private prosecutors are accepted for filing by Registrars and not referred to a District Court Judge. I request all guidance, policies, and advice given to District Court Registrars regarding the handling of charging documents filed by private prosecutors.
Regards,
Bevan Ellis
