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,
