D v SOCIAL SECURITY APPEAL AUTHORITY [2021] NZHC 974

Citation

[2021] NZHC 974
Court

High Court

The Court declared that the SSAA was wrong to refuse the applicant's withdrawal of her appeal; an appellant with the right to withdraw may do so unless the withdrawal constitutes an abuse of process, and the SSAA could not invoke its status as a Commission of Inquiry to continue the appeal outside its jurisdiction where no abuse of process was established.

GPM v JHM [2013] NZSC 84

Citation

[2013] NZSC 84
Court

Supreme Court

The application for leave to appeal was dismissed because the matters the applicant sought to raise were either matters properly for further determination by the Family Court or did not disclose a miscarriage of justice that would justify further appeal to this Court, particularly given the applicant had been legally represented at critical stages and failed to explain the delay.
