- Court
- High Court
s13(1)(a) did not bar compensation because it was objectively unreasonable to expect the plaintiff to exhaust internal or external complaints that would have been inevitably fruitless given the prevailing Taylor precedent; declaratory relief and prompt release did not adequately redress the month of unlawful detention; applying s14(2) factors and relevant authorities (including Manga and Taunoa) the appropriate award for 30 days unlawful detention is NZD 10,000; interest accrues from judgment as per High Court rules; 2B costs awarded to plaintiff.
