Adams-Richardson v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2010] NZACC 172
- Court
- District Court
The judge found no extenuating circumstances under s135(3): communications showed the mother sought explanation and reconsideration but not an instruction to lodge a review within three months; review rights and time limits were notified; the decision to pursue review occurred after the statutory period, so ACC correctly declined to accept the late application and the appeal was dismissed.
