THE WANAKA GYM LIMITED v QUEENSTOWN LAKES DISTRICT COUNCIL [2014] NZSC 198
- Citation
- [2014] NZSC 198
- Court
- Supreme Court
Leave to appeal was dismissed because the matters raised did not involve questions of law of public or general importance, there were no exceptional circumstances under s14 of the Supreme Court Act 2003, the factual and legal issues (including fire safety classification) had been thoroughly considered and resolved by lower courts and the Department of Building and Housing, and new arguments (time bar and illegally obtained evidence) had not been previously raised or explored in evidence and therefore did not justify leave.
