MITCHELL v NZ POLICE [2019] NZHC 2017

- High Court
The word "period" in s 21 of the Harassment Act must be interpreted as a finite duration; where no period is specified the default one year applies; because the original order had expired and the variation did not validly extend duration under s 22(4), the alleged contraventions occurred after expiry and convictions based on them must be quashed.
