O'Halloran v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1997] NZACC 256
- Court
- District Court
The Corporation reasonably concluded it was prejudiced by the six‑year delay because of the vague description of the accident, absence of contemporaneous medical opinion, and the speculative nature of connecting later symptoms to the 1989 event; therefore s63(2A) was not satisfied and the refusal to accept the late claim was lawful.
