PETER PHILLIP LEAITUA v R [2013] NZSC 99
- Citation
- [2013] NZSC 99
- Court
- Supreme Court
The application for leave to appeal is dismissed because the Supreme Court applies a restrictive approach to pre-trial appeals under s 13(4) and it is not necessary in the interests of justice to decide the admissibility of the prior conviction before trial; the issue can be raised on appeal after conviction.
