Mitchell v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1997] NZACC 220
- Court
- District Court
Section 67A does not authorize the Corporation to revoke or substitute a Review Officer's decision on the same issue determined in Part VI; Review Officer decisions are binding under section 90(3) and may only be disturbed by the appeals/processes provided in Part VI (including the Corporation's right of appeal under section 91); therefore the Corporation lacked authority to cancel the appellant's cover based on the 1997 decisions and those decisions are revoked.
