Subject: Official Information request - Policies relating to the handling of OIA requests

Dear Ministry of Justice,

I am conducting research into the Official Information Act (OIA) policies & practices adopted by government agencies, with a view to identifying best practice approaches.

I therefore request the following information under the OIA:

* Copies of the current policy, procedure, manual or other process document that records the Ministry's process or processes for handling and deciding requests under the OIA; and
* Any diagram or flowchart of the Ministry's process or processes (if any have been created);
* Copies of any template response letters that form part of the Ministry's process or processes (if any have been created).

If you need any more information from me please let me know as soon as possible. For the avoidance of doubt, this request does NOT seek drafts or previous policies.

I understand that a decision on a request for information under the OIA must be made as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any case not later than 20 working days after receipt of the request. I trust that a narrow request such as this can be dealt with relatively quickly.

Yours faithfully,

Ben

Hi Ben

 

Please find a letter responding to your OIA request on the Ministry's OIA
processes.

 

You requested a number of documents.  Unfortunately, we are having
technical issues with our redaction software so we're unable to provide
them to you today, but will as soon as possible.

 

Regards

 

Antony

Hi Ben

 

Given the size of these documents, I'm sending them through in two
emails.  Here's the first one.

 

Cheers

 

Antony
