AB v Accident Compensation Corporation (Interest)
- Citation
- [2019] NZACC 30
- Court
- District Court
The Court held that all information necessary to calculate the appellant's weekly compensation was not received by the Corporation until 6 August 2007 (when earnings information from the employer was provided) and therefore s114 interest is payable from one month thereafter (6 September 2007) to the dates the arrears payments were made; employer-held information in 2002 was not to be treated as having been received by the Corporation in 2002 for s114 purposes absent statutory deeming.
