MICHAEL JOHN PENMAN v R [2016] NZSC 96
- Citation
- [2016] NZSC 96
- Court
- Supreme Court
Leave to appeal was refused because the Supreme Court lacks jurisdiction to hear a challenge to a Court of Appeal refusal to extend time and, for a direct appeal under s14, the applicant failed to demonstrate the exceptional circumstances required; an alternative remedy (renewal of extension in the Court of Appeal relying on hearing impairment) remains available and the Court should not engage in the necessary factual inquiry.
