KATHRYN ANNE HARLEN v THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE MINISTRY OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT [2017] NZSC 87
- Citation
- [2017] NZSC 87
- Court
- Supreme Court
The application for leave to appeal is dismissed because the matters raised do not constitute the exceptional circumstances required for a direct Supreme Court appeal; the Appeal Authority and the lower courts adequately addressed the legal issues within the confined right of appeal and subsequent legislative amendments reduce the precedential weight of earlier decisions.
