COMMISSIONER OF POLICE v CHAN [2019] NZHC 1864
- Citation
- [2019] NZHC 1864
- Court
- High Court
Balancing the mandatory r 12 factors and applying the stage-sensitive approach in r 13, the public interest in open justice and ensuring fair and accurate reporting outweighed the respondents' privacy and fair trial concerns as to the formal court record sought; disclosure of the Commissioner's application and the joint memorandum was necessary to provide context for the orders, but publication of the property's address was prohibited to protect residential privacy and reduce risk to fair trial and safety.
