JOHN KENNETH SLAVICH v THE JUDGES OF THE SUPREME COURT [2015] NZSC 125

Citation

[2015] NZSC 125
Court

Supreme Court

The Registrar's refusal to accept the application was correct because the substance of the applicant's filing was an appeal against the High Court's refusal of leave, and such an appeal is precluded by Judicature Act 1908 s88B(3); any separate recusal decision was interlocutory and not subject to appeal under Supreme Court Act 2003 s8(c), therefore the Court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the appeal and the Registrar's decision is upheld.

VINCENT ROSS SIEMER AND JANE DINSDALE SIEMER v KEVIN STANLEY BROWN & ORS [2015] NZSC 102

Citation

[2015] NZSC 102
Court

Supreme Court

There is no entitlement to a three-judge review of decisions made under s 61A(3) of the Judicature Act 1908; attempting to file such a review where the law gives no right to it is an abuse of process and justifies dismissal of leave and costs against the litigant.

REID v ATTORNEY-GENERAL CA236/2012 [2013] NZCA 638

Citation

[2013] NZCA 638
Court

Court of Appeal

The Registrar did not err: the applicant failed to demonstrate public interest or exceptional circumstances to justify waiver of the setting down fee or dispensation from security for costs; accordingly the review applications are dismissed and the applicant must pay security of $5,880 and the setting down fee of $2,658.40 within 20 working days.
