XU v DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS [2019] NZHC 472

- High Court
Section 80F authorises variation of special conditions only; it does not permit the Court to suspend or vary standard conditions of home detention. The Court therefore lacks jurisdiction to grant the requested suspension to attend the funeral, and even if jurisdiction existed the application would be refused because the uncle's death is not a relevant change of circumstances nor would attendance materially advance rehabilitation.
