FOOTE v NEW ZEALAND POLICE [2022] NZHC 1670
- Citation
- [2022] NZHC 1670
- Court
- High Court
The appeal is dismissed because the appellant's right of appeal under the pre‑amendment regime had expired (20 working days under r18.4(2)(b)) before the amendments commenced, and an application for special leave to extend time is an interlocutory application (not the commencement of a proceeding) and therefore not preserved as an existing proceeding by s33(1)(b) of the Legislation Act 2019; accordingly the District Court lacked jurisdiction to hear the appeal.
