Draper v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1999] NZACC 321
- Court
- District Court
Despite hardship and unfairness in the facts, the clear wording of the Regulations and binding High Court authority in Walsh require prior approval before the Corporation can be liable for specialist procedure costs; the Court will not imply an exception where the statutory words are plain, so the appeal is dismissed.
