Prisoners' and Victims' Claims Bill

Report by the Privacy Commissioner to the Minister of Justice in relation to Part 2(1) of the Prisoners' and Victims' Claims Bill


This report discusses only Part 2(1) of this bill, which aims to ensure that compensation for breaches of the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990, Human Rights Act 1993 and Privacy Act 1993, is treated as a remedy of last resort for prisoners. Under the bill, compensation will only be possible when all other remedies have been explored and do not provide effective redress.
