- Court of Appeal
The Court declined the application because the juror's post‑verdict statements of feeling pressured and having capitulated did not amount to the "exceptional" circumstances required by s 76(3) Evidence Act 2006 to permit inquiry into jury deliberations; the material did not distinguish the case from prior authorities (R v Tainui, Neale v R) where similar complaints were held insufficient.
