DAVID OWEN LYTTLE v R [2019] NZSC 75

- Court
- Supreme Court
Leave for a pre-trial appeal was refused because it is not in the interests of justice to determine admissibility of the proposed expert evidence before trial; the Supreme Court requires the trial context to assess whether the evidence meets the Evidence Act s 25(1) substantial helpfulness threshold and because granting leave would likely delay an imminent trial.
