FRYE v CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF ORANGA TAMARIKI [2022] NZHC 2976
- Citation
- [2022] NZHC 2976
- Court
- High Court
The High Court dismissed the appeal because the appellant failed to establish that circumstances had changed such that the care and protection orders could be discharged; contemporaneous clinical and psychological evidence and observed adverse effects on the child from contact supported the Family Court's conclusion that leaving the orders in place best protected the child's wellbeing and attachment to his caregiver, and no fresh evidence admissible on appeal justified a different outcome.
