ANGUS v PLUMBERS, GASFITTERS AND DRAINLAYERS BOARD [2020] NZHC 835

Citation

[2020] NZHC 835
Court

High Court

The District Court lacked jurisdiction because the Board's refusal flowed from the applicant's failure to meet the minimum standards (no pass in exam 9195) prescribed under ss30–31, and s162(3) excludes appeals against decisions relating to setting minimum standards and examinations under ss28–35; further, the application was non-compliant under s37 and, on the merits, the appellant had not obtained the required pass so rejection was lawful.

Claimant T v Accident Compensation Corporation

Citation

[2009] NZACC 134
Court

District Court

Because the respondent had accepted responsibility and the sums in issue had been paid such that there was no live issue, the District Court lacked jurisdiction under s149 to hear the appeal; the Reviewer's decision that there was no jurisdiction was correct, and the appeal is dismissed.
