Reviews
88ORight of review
A person against whom a preservation direction is made may apply to the Commissioner, in the approved manner, for a review of either of the following decisions of the Commissioner:
- a decision to make the direction:
- a decision to renew the direction.
An application must state—
- the decision that the applicant wishes to be reviewed; and
- why the applicant thinks the decision should be reviewed; and
- the review outcome that the applicant seeks.
An application must be made—
- no later than the default closing date, which is 30 working days after the date on which—
- the direction is given to the person (if the application is for a review of the decision to make the direction); or
- the updated direction is given to the person (if the application is for a review of a decision to renew the direction); and
- the direction is given to the person (if the application is for a review of the decision to make the direction); or
- before the direction expires or is revoked.
However, the Commissioner may accept an application after the default closing date if satisfied that extenuating circumstances affected the ability of the person to make the application by that date (but may only accept the application before the direction expires or is revoked).
In this section, approved manner means any manner that—
- is approved by the Commissioner for the purposes of this section; and
- is specified on an Internet site maintained by or on behalf of the New Zealand Police that is publicly accessible free of charge.
