KING v NEW ZEALAND POLICE [2021] NZHC 1652

- [2021] NZHC 1652
- Court
- High Court
The appeal is dismissed: the High Court concluded the District Court did not err in finding the gravity of the offending, after mitigation for the appellant's dissociative identity disorder, was low to moderate and that the consequences of conviction (employment, travel, mental health) were not out of all proportion to that gravity; therefore a discharge without conviction was not warranted.
