NOTICE: OIA RETURNED WITHOUT CURE
 ABATEMENT SERVED — 27 NOVEMBER 2025
This correspondence is issued jointly to Parliament and New Zealand Police to formally place on record the following.
1. Abatement on the Institutional Record
On 27 November 2025, a formal Abatement Notice was served upon:
– the Wellington High Court, and
– Parliament via the Clerk.
Proof of service exists, including contemporaneous receipt identifiers.
Accordingly, from that date forward, all relevant institutions were on notice that enforcement action was paused pending cure of identified jurisdictional and due-process defects.
2. OIA Response Returned Without Cure
An Official Information Act request was subsequently returned indicating that:
– internal correspondence was circulated,
– legal advice was sought,
– and a decision was made that “no further action” was required.
The OIA response did not:
– cure the abatement,
– disclose lawful authority,
– provide sworn evidential basis,
– identify verified warrant details, or
– establish jurisdiction.
The OIA process has therefore been administratively exhausted without correction of defect.
3. Record Clarification
This notice clarifies that:
– The Abatement remains in full force and effect.
– The OIA response does not constitute a rebuttal, cure, or lawful answer to the abatement.
– Any continued reliance on administrative notices or internal handling does not remedy the underlying lack of due process.
This clarification is issued to prevent mischaracterisation of the OIA return as substantive resolution.
4. Effect of Continued Action
Any actions taken after 27 November 2025 in relation to the matters abated — including continued retention of property or enforcement reliance — are now recorded as having occurred with full institutional notice.
This correspondence is issued to preserve the record and to allow correction without unnecessary escalation.
5. Reservation of Rights
Nothing in this notice constitutes waiver, consent, or acquiescence.
All rights, remedies, and causes of action are expressly reserved.
Without Prejudice
Without Admission
All Rights Reserved
Signed,
