Elkerbout v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1999] NZACC 45
- Court
- District Court
The Corporation misapplied s73(1) by cancelling the appellant's Home Help on the basis of alleged fraudulent acts without first conducting a proper reassessment under the Home Help Regulations; entitlement can only be lawfully withdrawn following a reassessment that establishes lack of need, therefore the cancellation was invalid and must be revoked.
