Proactive release of responses to OIA requests
Crown Law recognises that the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) plays an important part in New Zealand’s constitutional framework by enabling access to official information that supports participation by New Zealanders in government.
The proactive release of official information is another element that helps build trust and confidence in government.
The nature of Crown Law’s work means that most of the information and documents produced are not within the scope of the OIA as they relate to Law Officer functions and/or attract legal privilege.
Where appropriate and to the extent possible, Crown Law proactively releases information and documents that are likely to be of interest to the public.
Responses to OIA requests detail the information released and explain what information, if any, has been withheld and under which grounds of the OIA.
Some documents may contain redacted information. Any document with redactions will include an explanatory note about why the information has been redacted (either in the cover sheet included with the document(s), or an annotation on the redacted information).
Released documents are published in Adobe PDF format.
Batches of responses to OIA requests will be released at reasonable intervals.
Most recent releases are added to the top of the list.
