In May 2012, in response to rising concerns about the impact of cyber-bullying on young people, the Minister responsible for the Law Commission, the Hon Judith Collins, asked the Law Commission to fast-track the part of the project dealing with the third leg of the terms of reference – namely the adequacy of the sanctions and remedies for dealing with harmful digital communications. The final recommendations are set out in this Ministerial Briefing Paper, Harmful Digital Communications: The adequacy of the current sanctions and remedies. This is accompanied by a draft bill.
This briefing will be annexed to the final report on the New Media Review when it is completed and tabled in Parliament.
