HARRIS v NEW ZEALAND POLICE [2020] NZCA 55

- Court of Appeal
Leave to appeal was declined because the applicant could not show it was reasonably arguable that the R v AM bands caused a miscarriage of justice or that this case raised a proper concern for review; the facts demonstrated high culpability (victim rebuffed advances, was asleep, vulnerability, ejaculation, significant harm) making a custodial sentence fully justified and rendering the case an inappropriate vehicle for revisiting the bands or statutory approaches.
