HIINI v R [2020] NZCA 77

- Court of Appeal
The Judge did not err in refusing to abort the trial because the defence had opportunity to cross-examine the retractor, no new evidence was shown to exist that would render continuation unfair, and the mother's guilty pleas were relevant to family dynamics and admissible or likely to be before a new jury; therefore no miscarriage of justice occurred.
