PARKER v CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS [2022] NZCA 316 [15 July 2022]
- Citation
- [2022] NZCA 316

- Court of Appeal
Because the respondent produced a valid District Court warrant authorising detention, the onus shifted to Mr Parker to demonstrate that the warrant did not lawfully justify his detention; he failed to discharge that burden and none of his complaints invalidated the warrant, therefore his detention was lawful and the appeal must be dismissed.
