WHEREAS by Order in Council made on the 29th day of September 1982*, you, the said Peter Gordon Hillyer, Eric Alderson Missen, and Gideon Tait were appointed to be a Commission to inquire into and report upon—

(1) The said Order in Council is hereby amended by revoking paragraph (a) of the terms of reference set out in the said Order in Council, and substituting the following paragraph:

“(a) Whether, since the 1st day of April 1981, there has been impropriety on the part of any member of the staff of the District Court at Wellington in relation to any prosecution instituted by a document filed in that Court, and whether any other person appears to have obtained or tried to obtain irregular disposition by any member of the staff of that Court of any prosecution instituted by a document filed in that Court.”

(2) The time within which you are so required to report is hereby extended until the 31st day of March 1983, without prejudice to the continuation of the liberty conferred on you by the said Order in Council to report your proceedings and recommendations from time to time if you should judge it expedient so to do.

And I hereby confirm the said Order in Council and the Commission thereby constituted save as modified by these presents.

Given in Executive Council under the hand of His Excellency the Governor-General this 7th day of December 1982.
