There is no automatic right for a proposed examinee to notice or to retain the application under the High Court Rules for examination orders under the Criminal Proceeds (Recovery) Act 2009; the Act contemplated an ex parte investigative procedure similar to search warrants, but judges have discretion to require notice or a hearing in exceptional cases where NZBORA rights or collateral proceedings justify it; in the present case no notice was required and the respondent must return the application and related court documents to the registry.
