BETWEEN	VINCENT ROSS SIEMER Applicant
AND	DEPUTY REGISTRAR OF THE SUPREME COURT OF NEW ZEALAND Respondent

Court:	Glazebrook, O’Regan and Ellen France JJ
Counsel:	Applicant in person
Judgment:	4 March 2021

JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

The application for recall of this Court’s recall judgment of 11 February 2021 (Siemer v Deputy Registrar of the Supreme Court of New Zealand [2021] NZSC 3) is dismissed.

____________________________________________________________________

REASONS

1. The applicant applied for the recall of this Court’s judgment of 27 November 2020 (the original judgment), in which his application for review of the decision of the Deputy Registrar was dismissed and his application for directions was also dismissed.[1]

   [1]Siemer v Deputy Registrar of the Supreme Court of New Zealand [2020] NZSC 135.

2. The application for recall was dismissed in a judgment issued on 11 February 2021 (the recall judgment).[2]

   [2]Siemer v Deputy Registrar of the Supreme Court of New Zealand [2021] NZSC 3.

3. The applicant has now filed a document headed “Application for Recall of Judgment or Clarification Under the Slip and Ommission [sic] Rule” in which he seeks the recall of the recall judgment. 

4. The application discloses no proper basis for recall of the recall judgment, applying the well-known test recently summarised by this Court in Craig v Williams.[3]

   [3]Craig v Williams [2019] NZSC 60 at [10].

5. The application for recall of the recall judgment is therefore dismissed. 

6. We direct the Registrar to reject any further applications or other documents relating to the original judgment, the recall judgment or this judgment.
