RE DEPARTMENT OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS (QIAN DUODUO LTD) [2023] NZHC 602
- Citation
- [2023] NZHC 602
- Court
- High Court
The court granted restoration under s329 because continuation of the criminal proceedings serves the public interest and general deterrence in enforcing the AML/CFT Act, the DIA's late objection was inadvertent and not fatal, and potential inability to recover penalties is not a reason to refuse restoration; questions of recoverability and sentencing are for the sentencing court, not the restoration application.
