LOWTHER v NEW ZEALAND POLICE [2023] NZHC 296
- Citation
- [2023] NZHC 296
- Court
- High Court
Leave to appeal out of time is declined because, although the appellant provided a reasonable explanation for delay (caring for his ill mother), the appeal has no merit: the appellant admitted the offence by guilty plea, accepted the sentence as appropriate, and no miscarriage of justice is established; the court lacks jurisdiction to revisit unrelated past convictions on this appeal.
