    [2016] NZHC 485
    Court
    High Court

    Leave to appeal refused because the proposed grounds do not raise questions of law of general or public importance and there is no real risk of miscarriage of justice; the District Court correctly applied the Austin Nichols approach, its factual conclusions about sedation were open on the evidence, and any procedural error did not oblige allowance of the appeal.
