    ZHANG & JIA v AUCKLAND COUNCIL [2019] NZCA 114

    Citation
    [2019] NZCA 114
    Court
    Court of Appeal

    Leave to adduce fresh evidence was granted, but leave to bring a second appeal was declined because applicants elected to self-represent and did not satisfy the court they were unaware of legal aid or that a miscarriage of justice occurred; the offending was deliberate and profit-driven and fines were appropriate.
