MITCHELL v PRIVACY COMMISSIONER [2017] NZHC 569

Citation

[2017] NZAR 1706
Court

High Court

The Commissioner did not commit an error of law or breach natural justice by limiting the investigation to the privacy principle and Code rules he considered to be apparent interferences (principle 11 and rr10–11); his decision fell within the statutory discretion and was not Wednesbury unreasonable, therefore the judicial review application is dismissed.

BRACEWELL v RICHMOND SERVICES LIMITED CA410/2014 [2014] NZCA 629

Citation

[2014] NZCA 629
Court

Court of Appeal

The Court granted a short extension of time but declined lay representation and refused leave to appeal because the Employment Court did not err in law: its refusal to examine Client A's records under Evidence Act principles was a proper exercise of discretion and immaterial to the outcome, the contested points were factual or not questions of law, and there was no issue of sufficient general or public importance to warrant appeal to the Court of Appeal.
