- [1997] NZACC 113
- Court
- District Court
The 1992 Act does not confer on employers review rights in respect of claims for cover accepted before the commencement of the 1992 Act; such pre-1992 accepted cover is preserved by s 135 and any challenge must proceed under preserved 1982 Act review and appeal rights or by established revision powers; the Review Officer lacked jurisdiction under s 65(6) to determine the validity of pre-1992 cover, so the interim decision was quashed.
