JOHN FREDERICK ERICSON v CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS [2020] NZSC 69
- Citation
- [2020] NZSC 69
- Court
- Supreme Court
Extension of time to seek leave to appeal was granted but leave to appeal was dismissed because the Court of Appeal correctly held the Regional Commissioner had a valid delegation under s 60(1) of the Parole Act 2002, the Regional Commissioner was not within the prohibition in s 10(a) of the Corrections Act 2004, the recall and detention were therefore lawful, and the applicant's proposed grounds lacked sufficient prospects of success; the affidavit used by the Court of Appeal did not prejudice the applicant.
