DARRELL EDWARD JAMES DUNN v R [2020] NZSC 58 ]
- Citation
- [2020] NZSC 58
- Court
- Supreme Court
Leave to appeal was refused because the application raised no matter of general or public importance and there was no appearance of a miscarriage of justice: the Court of Appeal had correctly concluded the assault was an operative cause of death and the alternative causation theories did not establish a real possibility of independent causation; further grounds not raised in the Court of Appeal failed the real‑possibility‑of‑miscarriage threshold.
