The case of a former Whanganui doctor arrested at Wellington Airport over allegedly fraudulent documents has dragged on for more than a year now.
The man, who is accused of using a forged document as if it were genuine, using a document for monetary advantage, and making a false statement or declaration, was arrested in October 2015, but today it was revealed his matter has not gone to a case review yet.
The matter was called in the Wellington District Court this morning. The man, who has interim name suppression, was excused from appearing.
The man's lawyer said the delay in the case, which has so far been before the courts for more than 16 months, is because the prosecution has been "drip feeding" disclosure.
However he had word from the prosecutor last night that all the evidence has now been gathered.
