Gardner v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2005] NZACC 90
- Court
- District Court
The reviewer and Court were bound by the Regulations' prescribed categories and maxima; the scribe's fee was not recoverable because the scribe did not attend or was not associated with the review hearing under the schedule; pre-review solicitor fees in excess of the maximum allowed for preparation/representation are not recoverable; therefore the reviewer's award of $240 ($145 preparation, $95 appearance) was correctly applied and no further costs are permitted.
