Information held about the Peter Ellis case

Ross Francis made this Official Information request to Ministry of Justice

The request was partially successful.

From: Ross Francis

Dear Ministry of Justice,

The Ministry created the document "Options for further inquiry into the Ellis case", which was signed by then-Chief Executive Colin Keating and is dated 1 March 2000. Who wrote this document and who was involved in researching it? Please send me all records relating to this request including communication within the Ministry about all work associated with this document.

After Val Sim wrote a review of Lynley’s Hood book "A City Possessed" and before it was given to Phil Goff, did anyone review Ms Sim’s work to ensure it was accurate, fair and didn’t omit relevant information? If so, who? Did anyone assist Ms Sim with the research of her review? If so, who?

Has the Justice Ministry transferred any records relating to the Peter Ellis case to Archives New Zealand. If so, what documents have been transferred and when did the transfer of documents take place?

Yours faithfully,

Ross Francis
