Jason (and others)

It takes a long time to kill off a couple of hundred years of history.

Appeals to the Privy Council were abolished 18 months ago for cases heard by the Court of Appeal - so this case can only be appealed to the new New Zealand Supreme Court. However, there are still a number of cases heard by the old Court of Appeal before June 2003 then that can go to London. I know of at least one civil case (on the scope of a lawyer's retainer) that is still pending and won't be heard until the end of the year.

Hurray for the NZCA.

By the way, when are appeals to the PC being stopped or has that happened already?
