    Perkins v Accident Compensation Corporation

    Citation
    [2011] NZACC 85
    Court
    District Court

    Most of the information requested in the draft statutory declaration was reasonably required under s72; the appellant unreasonably failed to provide information related to his entitlement; consequently the Corporation's suspension of weekly compensation was lawful and the appeal must be dismissed.
