Product description
This book provides comprehensive guidance on the access to information regime in New Zealand, including access to official information under the Official Information Act 1982, the Local Government Official Information and the Meetings Act 1987.

This second edition covers:
- general principles and concepts of the access to information regime;
- practice and procedure in seeking access to information;
- justifications for withholding information;
- reasons for decisions;
