The Society commends Wellington District Court Judge Stephen Harrop for upholding the law by charging a “prominent Wellington town planner” Robert John Schofield, 49, for importing by post via the internet, DVDs that were classified “objectionable” (Dominion Post 31/05). That decision issued on 22 March was upheld in the High Court at Wellington this week, by Justice Warwick Gendall who confirmed Judge Harrop’s decisions on both conviction and name suppression (see below).
