McFarlane v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2014] NZACC 141
- Court
- District Court
The 28 January 2011 letter did not constitute a fresh reviewable decision because ACC did not accept the 2004 decision was erroneous under s 65 and the letter merely confirmed the extant decision after considering additional material; the 2004 review decision had already adjudicated the s 30(2)(c) issue so res judicata applies; and s 26(3) statutorily excludes the appellant's stroke from cover absent the narrow exceptions in s 20(2), therefore the appeal is dismissed.
