Tçnâ koe R.Shirreffs

I refer to your information request dated 21 November 2024 made under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act), concerning grades for certain semester 2 papers or full year papers and LLB(Hons) offered by the University of Otago.

The Act requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no later than 20 working days after the date your request was received. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit. We are therefore writing to notify you, under section 15A of the Act, of an extension of the time to make our decision in respect of your request, by a further 10 working days (to 23 January 2025). Please note that ‘working days’ is as defined in the Act and excludes public holidays and the period between 25 December and 15 January.

This extension is necessary to allow for internal consultations to collate the requested data and make a decision on your request. We thank you for your patience and will endeavour to provide our response sooner if possible.

If you are not satisfied with our extension of time, you have the right to make a complaint to the Ombudsman under section 28(3) of the Act. However, we would welcome the opportunity to discuss any concerns with you first.
