    Citation
    [2017] NZHC 843
    Court
    High Court

    Judge Ingram did not err in law; appellant failed to prove either limb of s 8(1)(c) because personal and cultural circumstances lacked the required nexus to the delay and were not extraordinary or compelling under s 48(4)(a)(ii); comity justifies a presumption of fair trial protections in Australia absent clear contrary evidence; referral to the Minister was not warranted; the High Court dismissed the appeal and judicial review and confirmed the surrender order.

    • S 8 discretionary restriction on surrender
    • S 45 eligibility for surrender
    • S 48 referral to minister
