Permission granted to view Court file
Richard Treadgold | August 1, 2012Here’s some good news: Mr Justice Venning said today that he intends granting my request to view the Court documents.
The other party to gain access is APNZ News Service, through Matthew Theunissen – that’s the Herald’s agency.
Because the file is in his Chambers and is the subject of a reserved decision, we must wait until the decision is delivered before we get access to it. I’m looking forward to studying the transcript because I missed a lot by not attending all the hearing. I’m not sure there’s much of interest in the other exhibits, but of course I haven’t seen them yet!
The Registrar’s office told me none of the material exists in electronic form. So that’s a shame – it means anything I want to post online I’ll have to type or convert with an OCR program. So let’s hope the quality is good.
It sounds as though I’ll get access to the whole suitcase full but I might have to be selective in posting only the juicy pieces online. And I won’t see the file for perhaps two or three months anyway.
2 or 3 months!!!!
2 or 3 months?????
oh – two or three months – sigh
I wish your High Court put its documents online
Check ours out http://www.hcourt.gov.au/cases/current-cases-submissions
What I’d like to see is the Affidavits and their annexures
Patience ….. I know
I note Richard that moves are afoot in New Zealand for electronic filing in your High Court
We’ve moved on to electronic lodgment which does make for easy access
So look forward to that happy day -

here’s the second amended statement of claim
I think there’s a relevant audit floating around somewhere but I can’t find it sorry
here’s the audit http://nzclimatescience.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=769&Itemid=1
does anyone know if the parties received running transcripts during the hearing
if so could the transcript be posted?
Sorry, Val, I’ve been away from the keyboard. No, transcripts are not available yet. I hope they will be in the Court file, which is unavailable until the decision is delivered. If they come to light, I’ll be putting them online.
