Robertson v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1995] NZACC 138
- Court
- District Court
The statutory and regulatory scheme unambiguously required prior assessment and written approval or inclusion in an approved Individual Rehabilitation Programme; because the vehicle was purchased without prior approval and not as part of an approved IRP and the 13-week bar applied, the respondent was legally precluded from approving retrospective assistance, and the appeal must be dismissed.
