Crequer v Accident Compensation Corporation

Citation

[2011] NZACC 184
Court

District Court

The letters did not constitute reviewable decisions; the temporary stoppage of payments was an administrative error that was promptly revoked and reimbursed so no effective decision existed at the time of review; there was no sufficiently important or live question of law to justify grant of leave to appeal, therefore leave is refused.

Mitchell v Accident Compensation Corporation

Citation

[2009] NZACC 66
Court

District Court

The 13 June 2007 letter was an administrative explanation reiterating the preexisting District Court determination and did not constitute a new decision under s6; the 22 February 2007 approvals were limited to facilitating left knee rehabilitation and did not reinstate right knee entitlements; consequently the reviewers and this Court had no basis to overturn prior determinations and the appeals fail.
