RS v NEW ZEALAND POLICE [2016] NZHC 344
- Citation
- [2016] NZHC 344
- Court
- High Court
Given the appellant's long history of serious offending, repeated treatment non-compliance, substance abuse and risk of relapse into psychosis, and despite some mitigating opinion in the second report, the High Court concluded a s 24(2)(a) special patient order was necessary in the interests of the public to ensure robust management and rehabilitation; therefore Judge Crosbie did not err and the appeal is dismissed.
