From: john luke

Dear Ministry of Justice,

Thank you for your recent reply - Our ref: OIA 125837

1. I noted "Ms Shaw has now retired from the Immigration and Protection Tribunal (the Tribunal) and the review of the other two members is currently under consideration by the Associate Minister of Justice, who has delegated authority for appointments to the Tribunal. "

Could you now provide an updated list of the tribunal members, as well as any updates regarding the review you mentioned with the Associate Minister of Justice?

2. I noted "A review of several members of the Real Estate Agents Authority is currently under consideration. Nominations for these positions were sought from members of the coalition caucuses."

Could you please let me know how many nominations have been received, how many have been shortlisted, and how many candidates have been interviewed? Additionally, could you clarify how the Minister called for nominations? If the request was sent by email, I would like to request a copy of the email that was sent to the members of the coalition caucuses.”

3. I noted "Several member positions on the New Zealand Lawyers and Conveyancers Disciplinary Tribunal have now expired. Action on these positions has been deferred pending completion of the review of the Chairperson and Deputy Chairperson appointments. The review of the member positions will commence shortly."

Could you please provide an update on the progress of the review for the Chairperson and Deputy Chairperson appointments? Has the review of the member positions begun, and if so, what stage is it currently at? Additionally, will there be a call for public nominations?

Yours faithfully,

john luke

Tçnâ koe,

 

Thank you for contacting the [1][Ministry of Justice request email] mailbox at the
Ministry of Justice.  

 

This automatic message is to confirm we have received your email - we hope
to acknowledge you and advise next steps within two working days.  

Official Information Act requests can take up to 20 working days to
receive a response.  If the Ministry needs more time, we will inform you.

However, over the holiday period in December and January there is a three
week period that does not count as ‘working days’, that period is 25
December to 15 January, inclusive. That means any OIA requests submitted
on 27 November or later may take a bit longer than you expected.

 
Please note that this mailbox is not monitored on weekends, public
holidays or between 17:00 and 08:00 hours on working days.
 

Ngâ mihi,
