Court

Court of Appeal

The recall application was declined because it improperly sought to relitigate settled issues on identical grounds previously dismissed; the conviction was supported by sufficient identification evidence and is final, and the application amounted to an abuse of process.

S(CA34/2015) V AUCKLAND DISTRICT COURT [2015] NZCA 110

Citation

[2015] NZCA 110
Court

Court of Appeal

The Registrar's decision was upheld because the appellant did not demonstrate impecuniosity or exceptional circumstances, the appeal and proposed judicial review were essentially collateral attacks on convictions and an abuse of process, and under Reekie the appeal had very little chance of success; accordingly security for costs was properly required and the review application was dismissed.
