- Decision(s) FOI 10: Upheld
The complainant requested information from Ministry of Justice on 15 April 2025 about a new facility for applying for "Vexatious Litigant Permission" to the Administrative Court and on E-Filing.
A public authority will breach section 10 of FOIA if it fails to respond to a request within 20 working days. Based on evidence available to the Commissioner, by the date of this notice the Ministry of Justice has not issued a substantive response to this request. Therefore, the Commissioner finds a breach of section 10.
The Ministry of Justice must provide a substantive response to the request in accordance with its obligations under FOIA.
The Ministry of Justice must take this step within 30 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of FOIA and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.
