CAMILLE IRIANA THOMPSON v THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL [2016] NZSC 134
- Citation
- [2016] NZSC 134
- Court
- Supreme Court
Leave to appeal was dismissed because Chapman governs and bars Crown liability for Bill of Rights breaches arising from judicial decisions; the differences identified by the applicant (ICCPR reservations and factual distinctions) did not provide a sufficient or appropriate basis to distinguish or revisit Chapman and there was insufficient prospect of success to grant leave.
