- Citation
- [2020] NZHC 1416
- Court
- High Court
Even if jurisdiction existed, the Court declined to exercise any power to review or substitute the 1997 sentence because the sentence had effectively expired, the respondent completed the required treatment, the statutory basis for review has been repealed with no apparent transitional provision, and it would serve no public interest to conduct a review after more than two decades.
