PHILLIP JOHN SMITH v CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS [2021] NZSC 34
- Citation
- [2021] NZSC 34
- Court
- Supreme Court
Leave to appeal dismissed because the Court of Appeal lawfully applied regs 108 and 109 consistent with freedom of expression, reasonably relied on evidence and inferences about victim distress and prison management, and correctly concluded that withholding approval was not a disproportionate limit on the applicant's rights; no matter of public importance or miscarriage of justice warranted further appeal.
