HOWARD v ACCIDENT COMPENSATION CORPORATION [2014] NZHC 2431
- Citation
- [2014] NZHC 2431
- Court
- High Court
The statement of claim was struck out because the reasonableness of the s72 notice and the related decision to suspend entitlements were previously raised and finally determined in the statutory review and court processes and the claimant had the opportunity to raise the March 2010 treatment‑decision issues earlier; permitting the present proceedings would amount to an abuse of process and, where the statutory review scheme applied, s133(5) barred alternative court remedies.
