A7.50 Form in which the information may be released (29/11/2010)

See also Privacy Act 1993 s 42

1. Information should be provided in the way preferred by the individual requesting it unless to do so would:
   1. impair efficient administration; or
   2. be contrary to any legal duty of the agency in respect of the document; or
   3. prejudice one of the interests protected by the withholding provisions of the Privacy Act.
2. Normally, INZ provides:
   1. a photocopy of the information requested, including a print of the relevant AMS screens 'copied and pasted' onto a Word document (a copy of this must also be placed on the physical file so it is clear what has been released); or
   2. a reasonable opportunity to inspect documents, or listen to or view recordings; or
   3. an excerpt or summary of the information, if some information is being withheld or deleted from a document.
