TE WHĀNAU A KAI TRUST v GISBORNE DISTRICT COUNCIL [2023] NZSC 77

Citation

[2023] NZSC 77
Court

Supreme Court

The application for an extension of time to apply for leave to appeal was dismissed because there were no extraordinary and compelling circumstances to permit a direct appeal after the Court of Appeal had refused leave; the Trust's grounds largely repeated prior arguments and were not shown to be seriously arguable, including the jurisdictional proposition that an RMA plan can recognise tikanga-based proprietary rights in freshwater.

MALCOLM EDWARD RABSON [2017] NZSC 19

Citation

[2017] NZSC 19
Court

Supreme Court

The application was dismissed for want of jurisdiction because the applicant was not a party and had no qualifying interest, and there is no statutory right or jurisdiction to review a judge's decision on access to court records by non‑parties.

DE MEY V R SC 24/2005

Citation

DE MEY V R SC 24/2005
Court

Supreme Court

The Supreme Court lacks jurisdiction to grant leave to appeal against the Court of Appeal's refusal to re-open its appeal because such a refusal is not a decision 'on appeal under s383' and the Supreme Court's criminal appellate jurisdiction is limited to statutory categories of appeal.
