SPROULL v WORKSAFE NEW ZEALAND [2022] NZCA 40

- Court of Appeal
The leave application was declined because the issues are fact-specific and not of general or public importance, no miscarriage of justice is shown given the defendant failed to object at trial and WorkSafe was able to prove delegation of authority by fresh evidence (or would have been allowed to do so at trial or by remittal), and statutory presumptions (Crown Entities Act s74(2)) support the validity of the charges absent a demonstrated defect.
