Court of Public Opinion Aotearoa New Zealand

Judge Behrens QC began one of his written decisions with the words "This case has taken some unusual turns." Following an exchange of emails between Agent Raue and the various other parties to the proceedings in the Human Rights Review Tribunal, Office of Human Rights Proceedings (and the District Court, High Court, Court of Appeal and Supreme Court), we received an email from the HRRT today. Dear Ms Raue, Ms Cuncannon and Ms Shaw Mr Mihaka (through Ms Raue) has applied variously for an extension of time for the filing of Mr Mihaka's evidence and also for an adjournment.  In case not all the correspondence has been copied to you by Ms Raue I attach in PDF: 1.    Email dated 8 September 2016 timed at 1:57pm from Ms Raue to the Office of Human Rights Proceedings (OHRP) 2.    Email dated 8 September 2016 timed at 3.53pm from Ms Raue to Ms Shaw 3.    Email dated 9 September 2016 timed at 12:48 pm from Greg Robins, senior solicitor, OHRP ...

Dear Ms Raue Thank you for your email message and attached letter received today. As discussed with you in our telephone conversation on Wednesday 17 August, the Commission recently undertook an electronic migration to the ‘cloud’.  Regrettably, during that process our OHRP mailbox went offline for two weeks due to matters completely beyond our control.  The contractors have still not been able to restore emails sent to our OHRP mailbox during that time.  Consequently we have not been able to access the Application for Legal Representation which you indicated you sent by email to the OHRP mailbox on Friday 12 August.  However, as the mailbox is now working again it would be appreciated if you would re-send the application to ohrp@ohrp.org.nz. We very much apologise for this considerable inconvenience. Thank you.
