Apportionment of entitlements for hearing loss

    CROCKETT v ACCIDENT COMPENSATION CORPORATION [2018] NZHC 2432

    Citation
    [2018] NZHC 2432
    Court
    High Court

    The application for special leave was dismissed because it was filed out of time under the unqualified 21 day limit in s162(4) of the Act; alternatively, the grounds advanced did not raise a serious question of law because the Regulations fall within the broad s324 regulation-making power, are not inconsistent with the Act's purposes in s3, and international conventions cannot render facially valid regulations ultra vires without a clear inconsistency with the enabling statute.

    • Time limits for appeal
    • Ultra vires challenge to regulations
    • Nzbora interpretation
