SADLER v NEW ZEALAND POLICE [2021] NZHC 1126
- Citation
- [2021] NZHC 1126
- Court
- High Court
The disqualification ordered by the District Court had expired and the appellant had obtained an alcohol interlock licence thereafter, so there was no 'operation of the order' remaining for the High Court to defer under s107(4); alternatively, even if deferment were legally available, the Court would refuse exercise of its discretion because deferral was unnecessary given the appeal process timing and because public safety and the appellant's history of drink-driving justified maintaining the disqualification.
