THE COMMISSIONER OF POLICE v ANDREWS [2014] NZHC 2534

- High Court
Leave for the Privacy Commissioner to intervene was refused because the statutory scheme envisages participation by either the Director or the Commissioner but not both; although the Court could rely on inherent jurisdiction, the appeal raised a narrow, non-complex issue that the Director could address and with which the Commissioner could assist outside formal intervention, so intervention was unnecessary and would be contrary to efficient conduct of the appeal.
