A (SC 72/2023) v ATTORNEY-GENERAL [2023] NZSC 144

- Supreme Court
Leave to appeal was refused because the Court accepted the concurrent factual findings that the assault resulted from an honest, non‑systemic mistake by Corrections staff which, on established authority (Taunoa), was incapable on these facts of breaching s 23(5); the proposed appeal lacked sufficient prospects of success, although an extension of time was granted for the application.
