R v TURNER [2016] NZHC 350
- Citation
- [2016] NZHC 350
- Court
- High Court
Because the transfer to the High Court for trial was correct and the outstanding District Court matters were unrelated and not transferred, the High Court retains jurisdiction for sentencing the arson charge and there is no statutory power to order that sentencing occur in the District Court; accordingly sentencing will proceed in the High Court on 22 March 2016.
