Herewini v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2000] NZACC 159
- Court
- District Court
The court held that s77(2) requires proof that the recipient altered their position to their detriment in reliance on the validity of the payment at the time of expenditure; spending on ordinary living expenses by itself and subsequent hardship from repayment do not satisfy that requirement, therefore remission was properly refused and repayment required.
