PAUL NILS HERLUND v R [2023] NZSC 9
- Citation
- [2023] NZSC 9
- Court
- Supreme Court
Leave to appeal was dismissed because the Court of Appeal correctly found the pleas were informed and voluntary, trial counsel did not pressure the applicant, the sentencing uplift did not adversely affect the applicant compared with the sentence indication, the parole and custody-based defences lacked merit, and the application raised no matter of general or public importance nor a real risk of miscarriage of justice.
