About the show

Every case tells a story. But understanding what happens in court, a tribunal or disciplinary hearing, and why, can be just as important as the verdict or finding itself. Hosted by Jane Yee alongside a rotating cast of NZ Herald Open Justice reporters, Case by Case examines the cases, disputes and decisions making headlines across New Zealand. Case by Case is an Open Justice podcast from the NZ Herald, with support from NZ On Air. New episodes every Tuesday at 5.30PM NZT
