- Citation
- [1995] NZACC 128
- Court
- District Court
The court held that the respondent lawfully required relevant confirmation of the appellant's farming activities and income under s.64; the appellant's refusal/unreasonable failure to provide that information justified cessation of weekly compensation under s.73; and the hearing was 'commenced' within three months for s.90(9) purposes by the arrangement of a hearing date, so the deemed determination argument failed. Accordingly the cancellation decision of 23 March 1994 was upheld.
