THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS v CHISNALL [2016] NZHC 1348
- Citation
- [2016] NZHC 1348
- Court
- High Court
The respondent achieved a substantive interlocutory victory because the Chief Executive abandoned the request to detain him in Paremoremo Prison, resulting in his detention at an interim residence; that partial success justifies costs in principle, but the court will not make a final costs order until further submissions clarify whether the High Court Rules on costs apply given uncertainty whether PSA applications are civil or sui generis.
