- Citation
- [2001] NZACC 210
- Court
- District Court
The respondent failed to exercise its discretion in accordance with the statutory criteria in Schedule 1 (notably clause 47 and clause 41(4)(f)) and failed to give proper weight to expert rehabilitation advice and the unreasonableness of its proposed alternative; therefore its decision declining the bedroom modification was unlawful and must be revoked and remitted for reconsideration in light of the Court's findings.
