About the author

The Court of Appeal of New Zealand is not a single writer but a judicial body whose decisions are published as authoritative legal texts. It is New Zealand’s principal intermediate appellate court, hearing major appeals from the High Court as well as criminal jury trial appeals from the District Court.

The court has existed as a separate court since 1862. For many years it was made up of High Court judges sitting in panels, before being reconstituted in 1957 as a permanent court separate from the High Court. It is based in Wellington and plays an important role in clarifying legal principles and keeping lower-court decisions consistent.

When this name appears as an author, it usually refers to the court as the institutional source of a judgment rather than to an individual person. Because it is a court rather than a personal author, a true portrait image is not appropriate here.
