CHRISTOPHER ROBERT HALPIN v R [2019] NZSC 11

Citation

[2019] NZSC 11
Court

Supreme Court

The applicant failed to establish a tenable defence and regret in entering the pleas is not a basis to vacate them; therefore no miscarriage of justice was shown and leave to appeal was properly refused.

MISIUK V DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS COA CA416/2011

Citation

COA CA416/2011
Court

Court of Appeal

The appellant is lawfully detained pursuant to warrants of commitment signed after sentencing; habeas corpus cannot be used to collaterally attack valid convictions or sentences, so the habeas corpus application was correctly dismissed and the appeal fails.
