ANGUS v R [2019] NZCA 396
- Citation
- [2019] NZCA 396

- Court of Appeal
Because the appeal was filed on 1 May 2019 (after the Courts Matters Act 2018 came into force on 14 November 2018) the CMA amendments apply and a withdrawn jury election is to be treated as never having been made for the purpose of appeal pathways; accordingly the Court of Appeal lacks jurisdiction and the High Court is the correct first appeal court, so the application to extend time to file the appeal in this Court is declined for want of jurisdiction.
