La Belle v Accident Compensation Corporation

Citation

[2006] NZACC 49
Court

District Court

The reassessed independence allowance takes effect only from the next quarterly payment following reassessment under the applicable 1992/1998 transitional provisions and indexation rules; accordingly the Corporation's calculation of arrears was correct and there is no statutory power to award interest, so the appeal is dismissed.

Logan v Accident Compensation Corporation

Citation

[2003] NZACC 258
Court

District Court

The information in the appellant's original claim and the employer's certificate (full‑time work for approximately ten months) was sufficient for the Corporation to form the requisite opinion under s40(2A) by the date of implementation of the amendment (2 September 1996); accordingly interest under s72 is payable from that date and the reviewer’s decision holding otherwise is quashed.
