Court of Appeal

The appeal was dismissed because the appellant failed over nearly two years to particularise grounds of appeal or comply with multiple court directions, did not seek reassignment of counsel, provided no explanation after being put on notice under s 338(1) Criminal Procedure Act 2011, and showed no prospect of progress.

Citation

[2017] NZCA 101
Court

Court of Appeal

The appeal was dismissed under s 338(1) of the Criminal Procedure Act 2011 because the appellant repeatedly and egregiously failed to comply with multiple court directions to file particularised grounds despite ample opportunities and notice, and because the claimed grounds showed no evident merit; the interests of justice did not require preservation of an abandoned, meritless appeal.
