    Citation
    [2013] NZSC 148
    Court
    Supreme Court

    Leave to appeal was refused because the applicant did not demonstrate that his guilty plea was induced by an erroneous ruling such that exceptional circumstances under Le Page required withdrawal; he retained the ability to defend despite the refusal of a stay, prejudice from delay was speculative, and there was no arguable coercion regarding the statement of facts; no miscarriage of justice established for a further appeal under s 13 of the Supreme Court Act 2003.
