CHENG v CHIEF EXECUTIVE, DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS [2020] NZHC 2158

- Court
- High Court
Interim relief was refused because the statutory threshold was not met—the applicant sought to improve his position rather than preserve it; existing facilities (cell computer, printing, telephone and ongoing receipt of mail/email) were adequate for now; security, statutory authority and policy considerations supported Corrections' restrictions; merits of the judicial review appeared weak and oral evidence was unnecessary.
