    Citation
    [2021] NZHC 513
    Court
    High Court

    The application for leave to appeal was dismissed because s242 of the Criminal Procedure Act 2011 makes the High Court's determination on a second appeal final, leaving no jurisdiction to grant a further appeal and the Bill of Rights Act does not supply such jurisdiction.

    • Second appeal finality
    • Jurisdiction to hear appeals
    • Leave to appeal
    • Criminal procedure act s242
