WIKOHIKA v R [2019] NZHC 51
- Citation
- [2019] NZHC 51
- Court
- High Court
The application to adjourn was declined; the trial and sentencing law in force at the time of sentencing must be applied by the sentencing court, and any change by the Court of Appeal does not automatically operate retrospectively; the proper course is to decide this appeal promptly and allow the appellant the right to appeal to the Court of Appeal and to apply to join the scheduled April hearing if appropriate.
