Basten v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2006] NZACC 296
- Court
- District Court
Because the respondent revoked its prior refusal and granted cover for Tooth 14 before the hearing, there was no live issue on cover and the appeal was dismissed; the Court lacked jurisdiction to decide treatment costs without a primary decision, and the respondent was directed to receive and consider the appellant's claim for treatment costs for Tooth 14 and Tooth 15 and make a fresh primary decision.
