Berkett v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2011] NZACC 46
- Court
- District Court
Because s236(1) requires a levy payer to seek review within three months and s135(3)’s extension mechanism applies to claimants, a levy payer who lodges a review application after the three-month period cannot rely on s135(3); therefore the Reviewer correctly found no jurisdiction to consider the substantive levy challenge and the appeal must be dismissed.
