White v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2006] NZACC 66
- Court
- District Court
Appellant failed to establish on the balance of probabilities that she altered her position for the worse in reliance on the overpaid weekly compensation; there was insufficient evidence linking the overpayment to a detrimental change in net position, therefore the statutory defence under s251 was not made out and repayment may be required.
