SELAIMA FAKAOSILEA v R [2022] NZSC 17
- Citation
- [2022] NZSC 17
- Court
- Supreme Court
Leave to appeal on the conviction point is refused because the applicant's contention that importation was complete on arrival of the mother ship in territorial waters has no real prospect of success given precedent that importation continues until the goods are available to the intended consignee; on sentence the Court of Appeal properly applied Zhang v R and reduced the sentence, and no error is shown warranting leave; extension of time to apply for leave is granted.
