- Court of Appeal
The appeal was dismissed as moot and inappropriate for adjudication because the complainants had agreed to disclosure and the documents had proved relevant at trial; the Court declined to make a categorical rule on "family dynamics" as a basis for disclosure and instead provided procedural guidance to Oranga Tamariki on pursuing targeted appeals in representative cases and appointed counsel to assist in future consolidated appeals; suppression of the respondent's identifying particulars was ordered under s200 Criminal Procedure Act 2011.
