MARTIN VICTOR LYTTELTON v R [2018] NZSC 94
- Citation
- [2018] NZSC 94
- Court
- Supreme Court
Leave to appeal was refused because the issues raised did not involve matters of public importance nor did they disclose a real risk of miscarriage: the trial Judge's directions were adequate and tailored to the facts, established intoxication law was not undermined, the sentencing Judge properly declined a s 24 hearing where trial evidence sufficed, and there was no appearance that prior sentencing notes influenced the independent sentence imposed.
