SLOSS v R [2021] NZHC 2179
- Citation
- [2021] NZHC 2179
- Court
- High Court
The Amendment Act expressly and validly retrospectively validated the appellant's registration and made him subject from that time to all provisions of the Act (including the offence provisions); clause 12 evidences Parliament's intention to override inconsistent law including s 26(1) NZBORA and the Supreme Court decision, and clause 10 excludes liability only for the period between the Supreme Court judgment and commencement of the Amendment Act, therefore the appellant's convictions stand.
