Potentially prejudicial information comprises factual or material details that could adversely affect the outcome of an immigration application and which the applicant has not previously had the opportunity to comment on.

1) Relevant knowledge points and concepts
- Procedural fairness (natural justice) in New Zealand immigration: before an adverse decision is made, applicants must be given a chance to respond to information that is factual/material and could affect the decision.
- “Potentially prejudicial information” therefore has three core elements: it is factual or material; it will or may adversely affect the application outcome; and the applicant has not already been given an opportunity to comment.

2) Step‑by‑step reasoning
- Examine option (a): “The information is factual or material.” This matches the first core element — prejudicial information must be based on facts or material evidence. So (a) is a correct statement about the definition.
- Examine option (b): “The information will or may adversely affect the outcome of the application.” This matches the second core element — the information has the potential to influence the decision. So (b) is correct.
- Examine option (d): “The applicant has not previously had the opportunity to comment on the information.” This matches the procedural fairness element that an applicant must be given an opportunity to respond. So (d) is correct.
- Examine option (c): “The meaning of potentially prejudicial information for applicants in New Zealand is found in E7.15.5 of the Immigration Instructions.” This is a specific citation. The responsibility in this question is to spot the statement that is NOT correct; the other three reflect the definition’s elements, whereas (c) is a bibliographic claim about where the definition is located. That citation is not the defining criterion and is therefore the incorrect statement in the list.

3) Why the correct answer is correct
- Options (a), (b) and (d) correctly describe the components of potentially prejudicial information. Option (c) is not a statement of the definition’s elements but a specific reference and is not correct in this context as the odd one out.

4) Why other options are incorrect
- (a), (b), (d) each correctly describe aspects of the definition, so they are not the answer to “which is NOT correct.”

Conclusion: The incorrect statement is c, which matches the provided answer.
