Patel v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2007] NZACC 20
- Court
- District Court
The judge exercised discretion balancing policy considerations, the rarity of awards by ACC, the appellant's financial hardship and lack of advice from her lay advocate, and the fact the appeal was reasonable to bring, and ordered that costs lie where they fall rather than awarding costs against the appellant.
