Judge's heartfelt letter to teen in custody battle - 'Maybe one day I will watch you play for the Warriors'
By Catherine Hutton, Open Justice reporter of Justice Andrew Becroft. Photo: Open Justice / Supplied via NZME A High Court judge has written a letter to a teenager caught in the middle of a bitter custody battle, revealing his dislike of maths as a teenager and his love for the Warriors. The letter, which recorded the judge's decision of an appeal to an interim parenting order, was written by Justice Andrew Becroft to the 14-year-old personally, explaining his reasons, instead of a regular court judgment. According to the letter, a Family Court judge determined in November that the teenager should live with his father overseas, believing that was what the young man wanted. But as time went on, the teenager changed his mind. When it was time to leave the country, he refused to get into his mother's car and even ran away from home for a time. In February, a second Family Court judge agreed the teenager should live with his father, issuing a court order to put him on the plane, by force if necessary. Upon hearing that, the letter says, the young man got upset and hit the wall, forcing the judge to "leave very quickly". Before last month's hearing, the teenager asked to meet him. Although this was an unusual request, Justice Becroft noted the teenager's views were important, "that is what the law says". During the 45-minute meeting, which a court registrar and the teenager's lawyer were also present for, Justice Becroft said the young man made it clear he did not want to move overseas to live with his father, preferring instead to stay at school with his friends and play rugby. "You said that you will not get onto the plane. No one can make you do that, and you were not going to go. You were very clear about that. You said that to me several times. I understood it." But the young man did agree to visit his father during school holidays, noting that things had improved at school, partly because he was now taking ADHD medication. "You like PE. You do not like maths. (And as I said, neither did I at your age.)" But the judge said he'd made it clear to the young man that he didn't have the job or the burden of deciding the case. "I said you were caught up in the middle. It is not your problem". That responsibility fell to his parents and their lawyers, who were tasked with coming up with a resolution to the appeal. When it came to recording what had been agreed, Justice Becroft, a former Principal Youth Court judge and former Children's Commissioner, wrote to the teenager, addressing him with the pseudonym "Claude". He said the teenager would stay at his school, visiting his father overseas during school holidays. Justice Becroft said the teenager's parents had promised to make it work and would stop saying bad things about each other in their son's presence. A final decision on the teenager's custody arrangement is expected to be made by the Family Court later this year. Judge: That try by Leka Halasima was 11/10 The judge concluded his letter saying how much he had enjoyed meeting the young man. "I hope the Warriors do a lot better in the next couple of weeks. And I agree that try by Leka Halasima was 10/10. As I said to you, I thought it was 11/10. "Sport is important. You keep up your involvement in sport. That will give you a good basis to do well in life. I am glad you enjoy it. "Maybe one day I will sit in my lounge and watch Claude play for the Warriors. That would make me and all of us very, very happy and proud of you. I wish you well for the future." He ended his letter; "Warm Regards, Justice Andrew Becroft."

South Korean skiers' lack of seatbelts made deadly car crash worse
Photo: Supplied / AIMAN AMERUL MUNE / Stuff Four South Korean skiers died after being thrown around inside their vehicle following a head-on crash in South Canterbury last year. It has led a coroner to issue a plea - "always wear your seatbelt". Bum-Hee Cho, 23, Junwoo Park, 20, and Sangseo Kim, 16, died instantly in the head-on collision just outside Geraldine in August 2024. Hyunseo Han, 17, survived initially but suffered serious injuries and died later in hospital, in December. Cameron McDonald, a 24-year-old Wānaka resident, was driving the other car - a 1996 Toyota Surf - and was injured but not fatally. In her findings released today, Coroner Mary-Anne Borrowdale said it was clear the young South Korean men's injuries were made considerably worse because they were not wearing seatbelts. They were in New Zealand for 50 days as part of a larger group taking part in ski training and the Winter Games. They had arrived in mid-July and had skied on several South Island ski fields. On 21 August last year, Bum-Hee Cho was driving with the three passengers in a 2016 Toyota Estima people-carrier. Cho had been hired as an assistant coach. The group was travelling in a convoy with three other vehicles headed towards Methven, after skiing at Mt Dobson. The crash happened about 600 metres south of Geraldine on a curved stretch of State Highway 79. After the crash, the driver of one of the other cars in the convoy said McDonald's Surf had crossed the centreline and caused the crash. However, the Serious Crash Unit found this was not the case. An investigation conducted by Senior Constable Paul Beaver found the skiers' vehicle crossed the centreline and crashed into McDonald's Surf. It might have appeared, to the other vehicles in the convoy, as if the Surf had crossed the centreline due to the curve of the road, Beaver said. The coroner addressed concerns raised by the bereaved families about no attempt being made to medically rescue their sons, and that an opportunity to save their lives might have been lost. Borrowdale also said the families had been saddened by the fact the three young men's bodies had not been removed from the crushed vehicle earlier. The rescue records showed emergency services were clearly on-scene quickly but for Cho, Park and Kim it was tragically too late, she said. When emergency services arrived the three young men were clearly dead, and they were not able to be removed from the crushed vehicle without the use of machinery, Borrowdale said. "In my assessment the response by emergency services was timely and professional, and quite properly prioritised the care of the two vehicle occupants who were injured but alive." A surviving member of the South Korean group commented they had all found the roads very narrow, so they hugged the centreline. That could have been a reason why Cho drove the Estima over the centreline and into the oncoming traffic, Borrowdale said. Cho's driving might also have been affected by a lack of concentration caused by fatigue or something else, she said. Cho had received a speeding ticket the day before the crash and had told the police officer who pulled him over he was speeding because he was not concentrating. Borrowdale said it was clear from the evidence from pathologists and the crash analyst the young men's injuries were made considerably worse because they were not wearing seatbelts. "Additional evidence to that effect is supplied by the other motorist that they struck in this head-on crash: he was wearing a seatbelt and was restrained within the cab of his vehicle. He was injured, but not fatally injured," she said. "I wish to reinforce the message to motorists: always wear your seatbelt. Whether you are the driver or passenger - seatbelts save lives, as the old campaign said."

Suspension of salary 'unjustified'
Fiji's suspended chief prosecutor, New Zealander Christopher Pryde Photo: Christopher Pryde Fiji's chief prosecutor claims the President's suspension of his FJ$250,000 (approximately NZ$184,000) salary is illegal and unjustified. Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu stopped Christopher Pryde's pay and benefits over two weeks ago after a public backlash about his absence from office. Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka called out the director of public prosecutions last month for failing to turn up for work for almost seven months after he was reinstated in January. Pryde - living in self-imposed exile in Aotearoa - told RNZ Pacific the suspension was unlawful. "I am still the director of public prosecutions, the suspension of my salary is in breach of my contract and illegal under the Constitutution," he said. On Monday Pryde released a copy of the President's letter, claiming "excerpts" from it previously run by local media were "false and defamatory". The crux of Ratu Naiqama's argument is that the 60-year-old was meant to resume work on 20 January, after a Tribunal exonerated him from a "misbehaviour" charge. Two days later he was hit with corruption charges, and the Judicial Services Commission extended his reporting date until 9 May. "I understand you failed to do were still on full pay while not working. You have breached clause 1 of your 4 September Service Agreement," the President wrote. "Pursuant to section 117(5) of the constitution, and acting upon the recommendation of the JSC, after having consulted the acting Attorney-General, your salary and other benefits are suspended forthwith until further notice." The decision came just before Fiji's anti-corruption agency (FICAC) announced plans last week to extradite Pryde on corruption charges. Pryde told RNZ Pacific that the President's decision was "unlawful, since the Constitution does not permit the suspension of my salary". Pryde, hired during the reign of convicted former president Frank Bainimarama, claims they are "bogus" and designed to intimidate and get rid of him. He believes the Fijian government wants to stop him prosecuting those maligned in a Commission of Inquiry report into the former head of the agency. Pryde wrote a lengthy response to the president on 4 August, and said his decision was unconstitutional and "legally flawed". "The suspension is arbitrary and a clear breach of natural justice, particularly in the absence of a formal suspension," he wrote. "It is clear to me that you received and acted upon wrong legal advice on this issue. "The decision by the JSC to recommend to you the suspension of my salary whilst at the same time refusing to deal with the complaints against me demonstrates malice by members of the JSC.... and is an attempt to intimidate me into resigning my position." Pryde said the JSC had an obligation to address the corruption charges he was facing, by either dismissing them or establishing a Tribunal to formally investigate the complaints. He said the JSC was the only legally-mandated commission to determine complaints against him and could not delegate this function to FICAC. Pryde, who lives in Christchurch, said he had already explained his absence from the job in a statement on 24 July. "As outlined in my previous statement (11 April 2025), I remain ready to return to work as soon as the JSC and FICAC have concluded their investigations into further allegations against me, raised by the acting DPP, Nancy Tikoisuva, just prior to my intended resumption of duties in Fiji. "I need an assurance from the JSC that these allegations will not result in a sudden suspension from office and a cutting off of my salary, as happened last time," he wrote. "I also need an assurance that I will not be arbitrarily arrested upon my return to Fiji and served with a stop departure notice. "I can only speculate that the reason for the unconscionable delay in making any decision on these fresh charges against me is a deliberate ploy to ensure I remain outside Fiji and am unable to make any decisions on the results of police investigations stemming from the COI report." Pryde was suspended from the role on full pay in April 2023, pending an investigation into allegations of "misbehaviour" by the then-President, Ratu Wiliame Katonivere, under direction of the Prime Minister. He was charged after being he was seen talking to the former Attorney-General, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum at a cocktail party in February 2024. Sayed-Khaiyum was under police investigation at the time they met and his file had been forwarded to Pryde's office, although he claimed he had not yet read it. Fiji's Attorney-General at the time, Siromi Turaga, said their meeting was tantamount to misconduct. In April last year he was also charged with receiving superannuation payments that had not been approved by the JSC. Pryde's superannuation ceased; then his salary and all contractual benefits were "unilaterally' cut off by the Fijian government in July 2024. However he was cleared of all allegations last December, following a week-long investigation by a Tribunal, which recommended he not be removed from his position.
