Terry v The Queen

[2005] NZSC 41

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF NEW ZEALAND

SC 23/2005
[2005] NZSC 41

ROBERT FRANK TERRY

v

THE QUEEN

Court:Elias CJ and Tipping J

Judgment:23 June 2005 

JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

Leave to appeal is refused.

REASONS

[1]       This application for leave to appeal can properly be dealt with on the papers.  None of the points which the appellant seeks to have considered by this Court qualify for leave.  None of them involves any matter of general or public importance.  Nor can it be said in respect of any of them that a substantial miscarriage of justice may have occurred or may occur unless leave to appeal is granted. 

[2]       As a consequence, and in terms of s 13 of the Supreme Court Act 2003, this Court cannot find that it is necessary in the interests of justice for the Court to hear and determine the proposed appeal.

Solicitors:
Crown Law Office, Wellington
