Application for leave to appeal decision of High Court (dismissing appeal from New Zealand Lawyers and Conveyancers Disciplinary Tribunal) – Lawyers and Conveyancers Act 2006, ss 55, 232, 246, 254 – test for restoration to Roll of Barristers and Solicitors – was Reid’s attitude towards the offending relevant to forward-looking assessment as to whether she was fit and proper? – did the High Court err in not treating tikanga as an integral part of the legal framework through which to assess the application? – did the High Court err in not rehearing Reid’s application afresh? – is hearing the appeal in the public interest or in the interests of justice?
