YAN & YOU v COMMISSIONER OF POLICE [2015] NZHC 141
- Citation
- [2015] NZHC 141
- Court
- High Court
Section 93 of the CPRA applies to the present challenge because the applicants seek to prevent the Commissioner from conducting examinations authorised by the District Court and s93 permits the Commissioner to continue exercising investigatory powers despite interim proceedings; legislative history and statutory purpose show intention to avoid frustrating investigations, making interim relief futile where exercise of powers would continue; accordingly the interim application was dismissed and the Commissioner may proceed with the examination.
