Application for recall of Court of Appeal judgment dismissing appeal against conviction – ground raised was that the court dismissed a ground of appeal without “directly addressing” a key aspect to the argument – is recall justified in these circumstances?

Murfitt v R [2025] NZCA 639

Corey Murfitt was found guilty by a jury of sexual offending against two complainants and sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment with a minimum period of imprisonment of five years. 

Murfitt appealed against his conviction. The Court of Appeal dismissed his appeal in June 2025.
