TAU v NEW ZEALAND POLICE [2020] NZHC 2155

- Court
- High Court
The sentencing indication did not create a legitimate expectation of home detention because it only identified conversion to a community-based sentence as a possibility and was conditional; the sentencing judge followed the indicated methodology, did not impose a different type of sentence, and therefore was not required to grant leave to withdraw the guilty pleas; appeal dismissed.
