LAF v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1997] NZACC 265
- Court
- District Court
Regulation 11(1) unambiguously requires prior approval from the Corporation before payment for the specified specialist procedure; courts may not read exceptions into that clear regulatory requirement, therefore the respondent is barred from paying the appellant's hospital costs incurred without prior approval.
