Citation

[2014] NZACC 92
Court

District Court

The application was struck out because it was filed outside the 21 day time limit in s162(2) and ACC did not waive the time limit, leaving the District Court without jurisdiction to entertain the late leave application.

CULLEN v THE ACCIDENT COMPENSATION CA582/2013 [2014] NZCA 94

Citation

[2014] NZCA 94
Court

Court of Appeal

Interest under s114 of the Accident Compensation Act 2001 is payable only on late payments of weekly compensation actually made to and received by the claimant; refunds by the Corporation to WINZ under s252 are not late payments to the claimant and therefore do not attract interest, so special leave was declined.
