WOODWARD v NEW ZEALAND POLICE [2021] NZHC 2367

- High Court
The High Court allowed the appeal because the sentencing relied on incorrect and unproven factual findings regarding the firearm (no disputed facts hearing under s 24), the error was material and resulted in a manifestly excessive sentence, and therefore the appropriate remedy was to remit the matter to the District Court under s 251(2)(c) for re-sentencing.
