[2015] NZSC 155

BETWEEN	DAWN LORRAINE GREENFIELD Appellant
AND	THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE MINISTRY OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT Respondent

Court:	Elias CJ, William Young, Glazebrook, Arnold and O’Regan JJ
Counsel:	P D McKenzie QC and A J McGurk for Appellant K G Stephen and N E Bailey for Respondent
Judgment:	27 October 2015

JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

The application for recall is dismissed.

____________________________________________________________________

REASONS

1. The appellant has applied to the Court for an order recalling its judgment.[1]  The grounds for recall are diffuse but principally suggest that the Court overlooked the appellant's contentions that she lived in Singapore - where she had residency, rented accommodation and paid taxes - only for the purposes of her missionary work and would return to New Zealand when she had completed that work and that she regarded New Zealand as her permanent home.

   [1]Greenfield v Chief Executive of the Ministry of Social Development [2015] NZSC 139.

2. The text of the judgment makes it clear that the appellant's position and arguments were understood and addressed.  No basis for recall has been put forward.  Rather, the application attempts to relitigate the appeal.
