Symons v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1998] NZACC 20
- Court
- District Court
The appellant had supplied sufficient information for assessment of entitlement; the further detailed client records sought amounted to an unreasonable and excessive demand (effectively an audit and beyond s64(1)(b)'s scope, and not justified merely by a concurrent fraud inquiry); viewed objectively the appellant's refusal to provide that additional information was reasonable; therefore the Corporation's suspension under s73(2)(a) was wrongful and is revoked, and costs awarded to the appellant.
