National congratulates next Chief Justice
National Party Leader Simon Bridges has congratulated
the next Chief Justice of New Zealand, the Honourable
Justice Helen Winkelmann.
“Justice Winkelmann has had a distinguished career on the bench since 2004, following a lengthy career as a litigator specialising in insolvency and commercial litigation. She served as Chief High Court Judge between 2010 and 2015, when she was elevated to the Court of Appeal.
“New Zealanders can have confidence that Justice Winkelmann will continue the fine tradition of Chief Justices in New Zealand upholding the rule of law and ensuring due process.
“I would also like to pay tribute to the outgoing Chief Justice, the Right Honourable Dame Sian Elias.
“To preside over the judiciary for almost two decades is a remarkable achievement, and jurisprudence in New Zealand has developed significantly over her time as Chief Justice.”
