Arbuckle v Accident Compensation Corporation (Costs at Review)
- Citation
- [2019] NZACC 88
- Court
- District Court
The reviewer's decision to decline the claimed costs was correct: the submission was prepared and lodged by a family-member representative and not shown to be a qualifying specialist report; there was no evidence the appellant incurred liability for the invoiced amount; accordingly the Regulations do not permit the award claimed and the only applicable prescribed item (lodgement fee) appeared already met, so no further costs were payable.
