Williams (as litigation guardian of Hirama) v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2010] NZACC 52
- Court
- District Court
Because the issue of medical error had been previously determined in review proceedings and subsequently by the District Court (Decision 40/09), the Reviewer had no jurisdiction to reconsider medical error; the only live issue (medical mishap) was not pursued by the appellant and the appellant failed to show cause to keep the appeal alive, so the appeal was dismissed for want of prosecution under s161(3)(b).
