Tēnā koe Ryan,

 

Official information request

I refer to your official information request dated 10 February 2025,
regarding “The 'Land Transport Act 1998', for example, binds the Crown,
which is apparent by way of section 3, 'Act to bind the Crown'; [1] Does
the 'Bills of Exchange Act 1908' bind the Crown?”.

 

We have transferred your request to the Ministry of Business, Innovation &
Employment (MBIE).  The information to which your request relates is
believed to be more closely connected with the functions of MBIE.  In
these circumstances, we are required by section 14 of the Official
Information Act to transfer your request.

You will hear further from MBIE concerning your request.

You have the right to complain to the Ombudsman New Zealand about my
decision to transfer your request.  The Ombudsman’s contact details are
available at: [1]Ombudsman New Zealand | Tari o te Kaitiaki Mana Tangata

 

 

Ngā mihi,

Ministerial Services

Kia ora Ryan Ambler, 

 

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of 10 February 2025 requesting under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:

 

The 'Land Transport Act 1998', for example, binds the Crown, which is
apparent by way of section 3, 'Act to bind the Crown'; [1] Does the 'Bills
of Exchange Act 1908' bind the Crown?

 

Your request has been transferred to the Ministry from the Ministry of
Justice on 12 February 2025 and is being processed in accordance with the
Official Information Act 1982. 

 

This is because your request is more closely aligned with the functions of
the Ministry of Business.  Section 14(b)(ii) of the Official Information
Act allows me to transfer any request that is believed to be more closely
aligned with the functions of another department, organisation or Minister
of the Crown.

 

We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible, and no
later than 12 March 2025, being 20 working days after the day your request
was received. If we are unable to respond to your request by then, we will
notify you of an extension of that timeframe.  If you have any enquiries
regarding your request, feel free to contact us via email
to [1][email address].
