STANLEY v NEW ZEALAND LAW SOCIETY [2018] NZHC 1154
- Citation
- [2018] NZAR 1210
- Court
- High Court
The applicant failed to prove sufficient and persuasive reformation and insight into repeated drink‑driving offending spanning decades including a 2014 conviction after completing his law degree; given the standards required to maintain public confidence in the profession and the absence of convincing evidence that the risk of recurrence is removed, the Court refused admission as the applicant is not shown to be a fit and proper person.
