Kia ora Erika Whittome,
 
On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of 5/10/2025 requesting, under the Official
Information Act 1982, the following:
 
I see there are 52 law firms in the All of Government providers for legal
services
https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...

Many of the staff at these firms have appearances in the ERA and
Employment Court etc for defending vaccine mandate employment cases.

As administrator of the All of Government contracts, would you please
share the cost to date on legal bills for defending vaccine mandates from
government agencies using these All of Government providers?
 
We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible, and no
later than 3/11/2025, 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
