ANARU HORI WHITE v R [2019] NZSC 53
- Citation
- [2019] NZSC 53
- Court
- Supreme Court
Leave to appeal was refused because the Court of Appeal's interpretation that s 296 does not provide a defence right of pre-trial appeal against a District Court refusal to discharge under s 147 is correct, there is no sufficient prospect of success to justify a direct appeal to the Supreme Court, and post-trial remedies (including appeal after conviction) make a pre-trial interlocutory appeal unnecessary in the interests of justice.
