VILIAMI ONE FUNGAVAKA v R [2017] NZSC 119
- Citation
- [2017] NZSC 119
- Court
- Supreme Court
Leave to appeal was dismissed because the applicant failed to show any real risk of miscarriage: he was adequately informed of the charge despite no separate counts for each impact; the late pathologist statement did not prejudice the defence given the original opinion and the defence case of accident; and leaving manslaughter did not create a miscarriage or raise a matter of public importance.
