W (SC 60/2023) v R and MARK JOSEPH HOGGART v R [2023] NZSC 164

- Supreme Court
Leave to appeal was granted in part because there is sufficient doubt on discrete issues (unreasonable verdicts regarding identity and part of the challenge to exclusion of Hartshorne's evidence and question on takedown order) to warrant full appeal; other grounds were dismissed because there is no realistic prospect of miscarriage of justice, no established causative link to impugned evidence, and no error of law in the trial directions; an extension of time was granted for Hoggart; interim suppression of W's name continues.
