Ellis appeal delayed

The Appeal Court hearing for convicted paedophile Peter Ellis, originally set down for May 31, will now be held in the week starting July 5. Court staff said the delay was to accommodate the widened scope allowed by Governor-General Sir Michael Hardie Boys. Ellis' lawyer Judith Ablett-Kerr QC is understood to have opposed the delay.
