JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

The application for recall of this Court’s judgment of 13 September 2021 (Harrison v Harrison [2021] NZSC 115) is dismissed.

____________________________________________________________________

REASONS

1. Ms Harrison has filed what she has described as “challenge application ex parte against [2021] NZSC 115 decision”. Although addressed to “head of bench”, we see it as being, in substance, a recall application in respect of our judgment of 13 September 2021[1] dismissing her application for leave to appeal against a judgment of the Court of Appeal.[2]  We propose to deal with it accordingly.

   [1]Harrison v Harrison [2021] NZSC 115.

   [2]Harrison v Harrison [2021] NZCA 301 (Cooper and Brown JJ).

2. In the document, Ms Harrison criticises extensively our earlier judgment.  She maintains the key elements of the reasoning are wrong.  She has not, however, raised any issue which would warrant us recalling that judgment.  So, the application for recall is dismissed.
