Estate of FK v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2015] NZACC 340
- Court
- District Court
The reviewer and Court lacked jurisdiction to consider the substantive challenge to the 6 December 2001 decision because that decision fell under the Accident Insurance Act 1998 which required reviews to be lodged within three months with no discretion to accept late applications; the 2001 Act's provisions permitting late applications do not operate retrospectively and no new medical evidence was presented to reopen the decision.
