Tēnā koe Charlie

 

Thank you for your email of 21 November 2025, requesting data relating to
private parking breach notices considered by the Disputes Tribunal, under
the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act). Specifically, you requested:

 

 1. The total number of claims filed where the claimant was a private
parking enforcement company (such as Wilson Parking, Smart Compliance
Management, etc.).
 2. A breakdown of the outcomes for the claims identified in question 1,
specifically:

 a. Number of claims upheld (judgement for the claimant).
 b. Number of claims dismissed (judgement for the respondent).
 c. Number of claims settled by agreement before a Referee's ruling.
 d. Number of claims withdrawn by the claimant before the hearing.

 

The Ministry of Justice (the Ministry) is refusing your request under
section 18(g) of the Act, on the grounds that the information sought is
not held by the Ministry and there is no reason to believe it is held by
any other agency subject to the Act. While the Act allows New Zealanders
to ask Ministers and government agencies for information, there is no
requirement to create new information.

 

To access Tribunal information, you must make your request under rule 35
of the Disputes Tribunal Rules 1989. You will need to identify the
proceeding and the specific documents you seek access to. Your request
must be made to the Tribunal where your case was heard, and may attract a
fee. You can find the relevant contact details online at: [1]Find us | New
Zealand Ministry of Justice. 

 

If you are not satisfied with this response, you have the right to make a
complaint to the Ombudsman under section 28 of the Act. The Office of the
Ombudsman may be contacted by phone on: 0800 802 602, by email at:
[2][email address], or via the webform: [3]Make a complaint
(for members of the public) | Ombudsman New Zealand.
