Decisions by the Corporation under s 53(2) of the Accident Compensation Act 2001 are decisions under the 2001 Act brought within pt 3 by s 354, and appeals from reviewers against such decisions are to the District Court under s 149; the Accident Compensation Appeal Authority has no jurisdiction to hear appeals under s 53(2).

The High Court lacks jurisdiction to entertain the appeal under s86 of the 1991 Act because there was no decision of the Building Industry Authority; the proper appeal route from the Department of Building and Housing Determination is under the Building Act 2004 to the District Court (s208), and the Court therefore transferred the proceedings to the District Court under s46 of the District Court Act 1947.

Because the deceased's injury and claim pre‑dated 1 July 1992 and a claim was lodged before 1 October 1992, s135(3) and s145(1) require entitlement to be determined under s65 of the 1982 Act and appeals governed by the 1982 Act appeal regime, so the District Court lacks jurisdiction and the appeal must be referred to the Accident Compensation Appeal Authority under s152 of the 1992 Act.
