Court of Appeal Referrals

Ross Francis made this Official Information request to Andrew Little

The request was successful.

From: Ross Francis

Dear Andrew Little,

On 28 June 2019, you informed me that you had consulted with various stakeholders about establishing a Criminal Cases Review Commission.

Among those with whom you consulted were Sir Thomas Thorp, Sir Thomas Eichelbaum and Kristy McDonald. Please supply me with a copy of the comments made by of each of these individuals.

Among submissions received by the Justice Committee, a number of changes to the Criminal Cases Review Commission Bill have been proposed. What possible changes, if any, have been discussed by the Committee?

You advised me that the Court of Appeal is expected to treat any referral “as if it were the first appeal. In doing so, I expect the relevant court would consider all relevant evidence, including new evidence, in making a decision on that case”. Have you conveyed to the Court of Appeal your expectations about how it should treat referrals? If so, what was the court's response?

Yours faithfully,

Ross Francis

Please note information about meetings related to the Ministers’
portfolios will be proactively released (this does not include personal or
constituency matters). For each meeting in scope, the summary would list:
date, time (start and finish), brief description, location, who the
meeting was with, and the portfolio. If you attend a meeting with the
Minister on behalf of an organisation, the name of the organisation will
be released. If you are a senior staff member at an organisation, or meet
with the Minister in your personal capacity, your name may also be
released. The location of the meeting will be released, unless it is a
private residence. The proactive release will be consistent with the
provisions in the Official Information Act, including privacy
considerations. Under the Privacy Act 1993 you have the right to ask for a
copy of any personal information we hold about you, and to ask for it to
be corrected if you think it is wrong. If you’d like to ask for a copy of
your information, or to have it corrected, or are concerned about the
release of your information in the meeting disclosure, please contact the
sender. You can read more about the proactive release policy at
