Documents relating to charging Carl Longshaw for neglect
Percy Doyle made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police
The request was refused by New Zealand Police.
      From: Percy Doyle
      
    
    Dear New Zealand Police,
Please provide documents relating to the police decision to prosecute Carl Longshaw for neglect. I presume there are some level of planning documents that are prepared by police in preparing the charge and then proceeding with the charge.
Yours faithfully,
Percy Doyle

    Tēnā koe Percy,
I acknowledge receipt of your information request below, received by Police on 20/11/2024.
Your request reference number is IR-01-24-41160.
As your request raises privacy considerations, we seek further information to assist us in making an assessment of any public interest considerations favouring disclosure that might outweigh the protection of any privacy interest.
Please reply to this email with the following:
- signed authority of the person whose information you have requested and/or some evidence that there is a public interest in you receiving the information that outweighs the other person's privacy.
The information you provide will be deleted upon completion of your request.
Pursuant to section 15(1) of the Official Information Act 1982, Police have 20 working days to complete your request commencing from the day after it was received. Working days do not include Saturdays, Sundays, public holidays, or the period between 25 December and 15 January.
Police are currently managing a large number of information requests. If you are required to meet a specific court date or have another reason for urgency, please notify us.
Regards,

    Tçnâ koe Percy,
 
Thank you for your information request. Your reference number is
 IR-01-24-41160. Please note that your requests 29269 & 29270 regarding
 LONGSHAW Carl have been combined into one request in our system, but the
 questions will be answered separately where possible.
 
If you have any further information as requested by my colleague that may
 assist us in making an assessment of any public interest considerations
 favouring disclosure that might outweigh the protection of any privacy
 interest, please do not hesitate to send it through.
 
The Official Information Act 1982 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 28/02/2025.
 
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
 
You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review my decision if you are
 not satisfied with Police’s response to your request. You can find more
 information at

    Dear Senior Analyst of Information Requests,
Thank you for your help and your response.
I'm quite happy for the two requests to be combined.
I'll add a note for your consideration.
The significance of the case is that this is the first and only time in New Zealand history where such charges have been laid in these circumstances. Indeed, neither the sentencing judge or the lawyers representing each party were able to find a similar case.
The historic significance and the implication of any precedence that this may set is why it is important this information be provided.
Yours sincerely,
Percy Doyle
