LANGLANDS v POLICE [2019] NZHC 214

- Court
- High Court
The court held there was no tenable defence: documentary records showed the appellant had been advised of his rights repeatedly and the objective records contradicted his account about timing of the call; any impropriety was minimal and unlikely to lead to exclusion under s30; trial counsel acted reasonably in advising guilty plea based on available records; therefore no miscarriage of justice and appeal dismissed.
