Laming v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2011] NZACC 338
- Court
- District Court
The court held as a matter of law that any discretion to extend attendant care beyond the 28‑day limit in section 129(2) can be exercised only under section 68(3) (as amended in 2005), and that exercises of that specific discretion are excluded from review by section 134(1A); therefore the Reviewer's decision that she had no jurisdiction was correct and the appeal is dismissed.
