JUDGMENT OF THE COURT
The application for recall is dismissed.
____________________________________________________________________
REASONS
On 11 March 2015, this Court issued a decision dismissing Mrs Howard’s application for leave to appeal against a decision of Randerson J.[1] The Judge had dismissed Mrs Howard’s application for a review of the decision of the Registrar of the Court of Appeal in relation to security for costs.[2] Mrs Howard now applies for a recall of this Court’s decision.
[1]Howard v Accident Compensation Corporation [2015] NZSC 25.
[2]Howard v Accident Compensation Corporation [2015] NZCA 627.
The basis on which courts will recall their judgments is limited.[3] Mrs Howard has not raised anything which would justify a recall in this instance. In essence, she is simply attempting to relitigate matters, which is impermissible.
[3]See Saxmere Company Ltd v Wool Board Disestablishment Company Ltd [2009] NZSC 122, [2010] 1 NZLR 76 at [2]. See also Erwood v Maxted [2010] NZCA 93, (2010) 20 PRNZ 466 at [23].
Accordingly, we dismiss Mrs Howard’s application for recall. We make no order as to costs.
