GREENWOOD v THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE MINISTRY OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT [2017] NZHC 44

- [2017] NZHC 44
- Court
- High Court
The Authority correctly lacked jurisdiction because the challenged decision was a delegated decision and the Benefits Review Committee did not confirm or vary that decision under s 10A(8), and in any event the appellants were not economically 'affected' by the decision so the appeal would have failed.

- Court
- High Court
The Authority lacked jurisdiction under s 12J to hear an appeal against a Benefits Review Committee's decision refusing to extend time under s 10A(1B) because that decision is not a decision or determination of the Chief Executive confirmed or varied by the Committee and s 12J does not permit appeals from such procedural discretionary decisions.
