LEIDEN CHEYNE OʼSULLIVAN v R [2016] NZSC 116

Citation

[2016] NZSC 116
Court

Supreme Court

Applications dismissed: the Supreme Court lacks jurisdiction to hear an appeal from the Court of Appeal's refusal to extend time, and no exceptional circumstances or s13 criteria exist to justify a direct (leap‑frog) appeal; the Court of Appeal's assessment that the underlying appeal was weak is accepted.

GPM V JHM CA553/2012 [2013] NZCA 269

Citation

[2013] NZCA 269
Court

Court of Appeal

The application for recall was dismissed because the alleged omissions were not material or relevant to the issues on appeal, the prior Family Court recall judgment did not affect the appeal, and the applicant's submissions amounted to an attempt to re-argue the merits rather than demonstrating the exceptional circumstances required to recall a judgment.
