Subject: Official Information Act request - Historical Ex Gratia and Compensation claims post March, 2017.

Dear Child Youth and Family,

Under the legislated rule of society which is given the force of Law and is commonly referred to as the "Official Information Act 1982". I, require the department of Child, Youth and Family (CYF) to provide the following information...

1. The legal (not the Oxford English) definition of the terms, "Ex Gratia" and "Compensation" (for damages) as they are applied by CYF legally?

2. Information regarding any external entities that can hear claims? For example... The Human Rights Review Tribunal.

3. How will "historical" Ex Gratia and Compensation claims be conducted post April, 2017 after the organisation commonly referred to as CYF has been disolved?

4. Will CYF still perform ALL legally required duties according to the provisions of the Acts of Parliament that govern the organisation prior to April, 2017?

5. The procedure one is required to conduct in order to undertake an Ex Gratia and/or Compensation claim against the department of Child, Youth and Family. *Please be as specific and clear as possible when providing this information in order to avoid confusion.

I look forward to the department of Child, Youth and Family (CYF) providing me with their prompt and legally required response.

Yours faithfully,

Lance-Desmond: Lavery

P.S. I reside on the geographical location commonly referred to as "New Zealand". I make this statement as a way of satisfying the eligibility requirements of s12(1) of the Official Information Act.
