    MITCHELL v R [2016] NZCA 331

    Court
    Court of Appeal

    The Crown's application to recall was dismissed because the Court concluded this was not an exceptional case warranting recall: the District Court is the appropriate forum to consider special release conditions under s94, an application is already before the District Court, factual developments (alleged new offending, bail conditions and residence arrangements) complicate the matter, and preserving appeal rights militates against recall.
