- High Court
The term "person" in the Land Transport Act and its regulations includes natural persons: the Legislation Act's use of 'includes' is expansive not exhaustive and the purposive context (only natural persons operate vehicles) confirms that statutory offences apply to individuals; accordingly there is no arguable error of law, no risk of miscarriage of justice, and leave and any extension of time are refused.
