VALENTINE v NEW ZEALAND POLICE [2016] NZHC 400
- Citation

- Court
- High Court
Leave to appeal out of time and to adduce fresh medical evidence were granted, but the substantive appeal was dismissed: there was no error by the sentencing Judge because significant medical evidence of serious ill health was not before the sentencing Judge and the appellant's condition deteriorated after sentence; post‑sentence deterioration is addressed by administrative remedies (Parole/Corrections), not by disturbing a valid sentence on appeal.
