Supreme Court prepares for first hearing
The Supreme Court, which replaces the Privy Council, considers its first case in May
23 March 2004
A temporary courtroom is being readied for our highest court.
The Supreme Court, which replaces the Privy Council, considers its first case in May.
It is a Family Court matter heard by the Court of Appeal in February which the Supreme Court has to decide whether to formally hear as an appeal.
Registrar-designate Gordon Thatcher says the Supreme Court has jurisdiction over a range of cases from the Court of Appeal touching all aspects of New Zealand law.
Chief Justice Dame Sian Elias presides over the court, with the other members being former Appeal Court judges.
