    Reihana v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation

    Citation
    [1998] NZACC 254
    Court
    District Court

    The application for leave was refused because the court held that section 40(2A) is clear in meaning and, on the facts, the appellant's employment was temporary/casual through a personnel agency and therefore did not qualify as 'permanent employment', so no question of law for the High Court was established.
