Answer

Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) has reached 12 financial settlements with employees between 7 November 2023 and 5 June 2026, with a total cost of $454,765. This total includes all agreed settlement costs, including legal fees. LINZ is unable to provide the information broken down by year, as doing so may increase the risk of identifying individuals. This approach is consistent with Statistics NZ confidentiality standards.
