Nelson Marlborough Health Services v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1999] NZACC 24
- Court
- District Court
The Review Officer lacked jurisdiction because no reviewable decision under s89 had been made by the respondent: the employer had accepted the injury on the work injury report, the respondent had no need to issue a fresh determinative decision under s65(6), any later purported acceptance or attribution was either unnecessary or time-barred, and attribution for experience rating could not be reviewed before an ERA was issued; accordingly the Review Officer's decision is revoked and the appeal is dismissed.
