KOROUA v CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE MINISTRY OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT [2013] NZHC 3418 [17 December 2013]
- Citation
- [2013] NZHC 3418
- Court
- High Court
The Authority's factual conclusion that the Ministry committed no erroneous action or inaction was supported by the evidence because the appellant knowingly and repeatedly misrepresented his birth date and only corrected it in 2010; therefore neither limb of s 80AA applied and backdating to 2005 was not available, so the appeal must be dismissed.
