Mangino v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1999] NZACC 22
- Court
- District Court
Regulation 11 unambiguously requires prior approval for specified specialist procedures and, as confirmed by ARCIC v Walsh, no emergency exception or discretion exists; therefore the Corporation was correct to decline payment where no prior approval was obtained and the appeal must be dismissed.
