High Court Strikes Out Judicial Review for want of Jurisdiction

Published May 29, 2014 | By

Today, Judge Clifford of the Wellington High Court summarily struck out judicial review of the Supreme Court’s refusal to allow public access.  The JUDGMENT Siemer v Registrar Supreme Court 4750 29.5.14 stated the High Court had no jurisdiction to judicially review administrative decisions of the higher court registrars; that it was solely within the inherent power of the judges of those courts to provide supervision over such processes and decisions.

The New Zealand Supreme Court was established by statute only in 2003. It replaced the Privy Council in England as New Zealand's highest court.

Two years before its establishment, the New Zealand Court of Appeal was found by the Privy Council in Taito v Q [2002] UKPC 15 to have engaged in systemic abuses of due process by dismissing as many as 1,500 appeals on an ex-parte basis over the previous 10 years, sometimes on the signature of a court registrar - dismissals often given only in handwritten notations on the court file.
#

The public have been told these abuses have ceased despite the Court of Appeal judges found culpable for these due process breaches being the first appointees to the new Supreme Court. Only by seeing the public court records which these judges have been hiding will we truly know.
