Unregistered gasfitter John Arthur appeals dangerous gas system installation conviction, questioning the Plumbers and Gasfitters Act.

John Arthur, an unregistered gasfitter in New Zealand, is appealing his conviction for installing dangerous gas systems in motorhomes and falsely claiming to be licensed. Arthur, who was sentenced in 2024, argues that he was pressured to plead guilty and claims the law is the real issue. He suggests the Plumbers and Gasfitters Act 2006 does not align with his training from 1985. Justice Downs will decide on the appeal in two weeks.
