PN (SC 24/2022) v NEW ZEALAND POLICE [2022] NZSC 30

Citation

[2022] NZSC 30
Court

Supreme Court

The application for leave to appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction because s 213(3) of the Criminal Procedure Act 2011 makes final a Court of Appeal decision dismissing leave to appeal, thereby precluding an appeal to the Supreme Court; additionally, the applicant failed to provide the Vodafone records that might justify treating the filing as a direct appeal from the High Court.

GARY DONALD MILLS v R [2020] NZSC 76

Citation

[2020] NZSC 76
Court

Supreme Court

Applications for third‑party disclosure were dismissed because the applicant failed to establish a realistic evidentiary foundation that the requested medical records and coronial materials were necessary for determination of his proposed appeal; the materials were not fresh, could have been produced at trial, the applicant provided no particularised grounds of appeal or explanation for delay, and disclosure was not necessary or expedient in the interests of justice.
