GILLILAND v NEW ZEALAND POLICE [2019] NZHC 289
- Citation
- [2019] NZHC 289
- Court
- High Court
The appeal is dismissed: the High Court held the District Court did not err. The offending was correctly characterised as moderately serious (an unprovoked two-handed push causing foreseeable serious injury) and, while a conviction may impede travel and employment to a real and appreciable degree, those consequences are not out of all proportion to the gravity of the offending so s107 threshold was not met and discharge without conviction was properly refused.
