Wyllie v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1999] NZACC 195
- Court
- District Court
Section 147(2A) requires that a claim in respect of the personal injury had to be lodged with the Corporation before 1 October 1992 to be entitled to lump sum under the former Act; the appellant did not lodge a claim until March 1993, so she had no entitlement to lump sum even though she later made a timely election, and there is no discretion to validate the late lodgment; appeal dismissed.
