CLARKE v NZ POLICE [2016] NZCA 84
- Citation
- [2016] NZCA 84
- Court
- Court of Appeal
The application for special leave was dismissed because Mr Clarke had exhausted avenues for a second appeal and, on the statutory scheme, a community work sentence is not suspended during an application for special leave; an application to vary or cancel does not suspend the sentence; any credit for the Bridge Programme would have been minor and was insufficient to meet the threshold for leave given the other sentence components and totality considerations.
