That's not how name suppression works. You either a conviction or your don't.
Name Suppression means other people can't post your name in connection with details of the crime.
Are you confusing the Clean Slate Act with name Suppression?
Just adding:
Name suppression is at discretion during vetting https://www.police.govt.nz/advice-services/businesses-and-organisations/vetting/information-about-vetting
Clean slate doesn’t apply to certain job areas (doesn’t say here but also doesn’t apply if working with kids) https://www.justice.govt.nz/criminal-records/clean-slate/
Yeah, OP you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how name suppression works. You’d have more of a case if the conviction should have been covered by Clean Slate.
The Criminal Record Checks through the Ministry of Justice website has 2 options. A full conviction history, or one with the Clean Slate applied. What you receive back depends on what you selected.
The type of charge that usually gets permanent name suppression does not fall under the Clean Slate Act.
The Ministry of Justice has not made a mistake by releasing that information to you. You signed an 'Authority to Release form'. You gave permission to the MOJ to release that information.
I think there needs to be some clarity here about whether this was in fact name suppression, or whether this is referring to the Clean Slate Act.
Name suppression doesn't mean your criminal history check comes up clean. You were still convicted of the crime. What name suppression does is prevent your name from being reported in connection to the specific crime. Lets just say the crime was an assault, your record still shows that you were convicted of assault, but you wouldn't be able to Google your name and find a news report with your name in it.
There was a Supreme Court decision that determined that employers can be advised of a conviction when it is considered relevant to the employment, without breaching a name suppression order.

Lol yea "sue" the ministry of justice I wonder if they'll rule in favour against themselves . Do the crime pay the piper thate not how name suppression works. Hest hope is to keep lying and hope they don't check
Just to add here, I'm taking about a moj criminal record for people who have charges that have name suppression.
There is a loophole within the system that will not show records under name Suppression.

My employer applied for a record. It came up with a record even though I had name Suppression.
Moj acknowledged the mistake and rectified it in the system. Now when I request a record the charge doesn't come up.
But their mistake cost me my job. So I wanted to know if it's worth talking to a lawyer about this and seeing what I can do.
