OSMAN v R [2023] NZHC 3559

- [2023] NZHC 3559
- Court
- High Court
Extension of time refused because delay unexplained and finality weighed against it; District Court Judge did not err in declining discharge without conviction — available material showed moderate rather than high gravity (knife involvement elevated gravity), counsel provided available information about RASNZ engagement, and the direct and indirect consequences of conviction were not out of all proportion to the offending; additional affidavit and cultural report admitted but did not alter result; appeal dismissed.
