RAM v THE NEW ZEALAND LAWYERS AND CONVEYANCERS DISCIPLINARY TRIBUNAL [2015] NZHC 1553
- Citation

- High Court
The application to debar Meredith Connell and/or its lawyers was dismissed because the applicant failed to establish any evidential foundation that counsel had been an active participant in acts central to the issues under review; mere allegations of prosecutorial misconduct are insufficient; the legal threshold for removal is high and was not met, so the respondents retain their chosen counsel and costs follow the event.
