Pattison v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2007] NZACC 173
- Court
- District Court
The appeal was allowed because the appellant's dysthymic disorder and pain-related psychological distress materially affected her ability to meet the three-month review deadline and, given the very short delay of a few days after expiry, proportionality and fairness required ACC to accept the late application under s135(3).
