PHILLIPS v R [2019] NZCA 277

- Court of Appeal
The Court of Appeal has no jurisdiction to grant special leave because s144 requires the High Court first to be given the opportunity to grant or refuse leave within the statutory time; the applicant failed to seek High Court leave within the 21‑day period and never sought High Court leave, so the application must be declined.
