JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

The application for recall is dismissed.

____________________________________________________________________

REASONS

  1. Mr Prasad has applied for recall of the Court’s judgment of 20 June 2014[1] dismissing applications for leave to appeal against decisions of the High Court and Court of Appeal. 

    [1]Prasad v Indiana Publications (NZ) Ltd [2014] NZSC 78.

  2. The grounds for the present application are expressed very generally.  The applicant asserts that the judgment is in serious breach of the law, has caused substantial miscarriage of justice and was wrongly made by “bundling” unrelated matters, with the result that it is misconceived and of no relevance to the applications for leave to appeal.  The submissions make extensive reference to the underlying copyright and bankruptcy proceedings in which final judgments have been entered against the applicant.

  3. Nothing in what the applicant has put to us raises matters that could give the Court jurisdiction to reconsider the judgment it has delivered.  The Court is also satisfied that the form of its judgment, which addressed applications in respect of three judgments of the Court of Appeal and High Court, was appropriate in the circumstances.

  4. The application for recall is accordingly dismissed.
