Williams v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2004] NZACC 78
- Court
- District Court
The appeal was allowed and the matter remitted for a review hearing because unresolved factual issues—whether ACC's payments and correspondence induced a reasonable belief that cover had been granted and whether the 21 November letter was received—could amount to extenuating circumstances under s.135(3); those factual findings must be made by the reviewer before determining acceptance of the late application.
