HEKE v AUCKLAND COUNCIL [2023] NZHC 590

- High Court
Leave to appeal out of time was refused because the appeal was filed 762 working days late, no application or explanation for extension of time was provided despite court directions, no substantive grounds or usable detail of proposed fresh evidence were filed, the original evidence of the attack was strong and the proposed unspecified eyewitness evidence was unlikely to undermine the conviction or establish exceptional circumstances to avoid destruction, so the interests of justice did not justify granting leave.
