- [1997] NZACC 158
- Court
- District Court
The appeal is allowed and the decision of the Review Officer dated 23 November 1995 is revoked because the second review, though procedurally defective, was a valid rehearing effected with the fully informed consent of both parties and accordingly the defect was procedural not jurisdictional; the respondent is estopped from challenging the rehearing and there is no need to remit the matter under Regulation 16.
