- High Court
The High Court dismissed the appeal, holding the District Court was not in error of law: the judge lawfully found that the 30-year delay, combined with the police investigatory history, prior similar prosecutions and deportation to New Zealand, the limited number of complainants and the respondent's settled residence in New Zealand had a sufficient nexus to the delay to render surrender unjust or oppressive under s 8(1)(c).
