About this book
Judgments of the Court of Appeal of New Zealand on Proceedings to Review Aspects of the Report of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Mount Erebus Aircraft Disaster C.A. 95/81 by New Zealand. Court of Appeal presents a landmark legal record examining judicial oversight after one of New Zealand’s worst peacetime tragedies.
This legal non-fiction audiobook captures the Court of Appeal’s handling of applications for judicial review brought by Air New Zealand and others against parts of the Royal Commission’s report into the Mount Erebus disaster. Heard in October 1981 with judgment delivered on 22 December 1981, the recordings set out procedural history, contested issues of jurisdiction, allegations of breach of natural justice, and the tensions between public interest, reputational harm and the scope of inquisitorial inquiries. Listeners will encounter clear exposition of appellate reasoning, statutory and common-law principles, and the high-stakes context surrounding a national calamity that claimed 257 lives.
Essential listening for lawyers, law students, administrative law scholars, historians of New Zealand, and aviation safety professionals, this audiobook offers authoritative primary-source insight into appellate review, commissions of inquiry, and how courts balance scrutiny of official reports with fairness to individuals.
