R v CORKRAN [2023] NZHC 2181
- Citation
- [2023] NZHC 2181
- Court
- High Court
Access to the defendant's police and other statements on the court file was granted because the applicant demonstrated a legitimate public interest and open justice considerations outweighed non-dispositive privacy concerns, but disclosure must be limited by conditions to protect defendant's and family's sensitive personal and medical information; the court required pre-release review to ensure compliance with those conditions.
