Christian v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2008] NZACC 161
- Court
- District Court
The court found on the balance of probabilities that ACC did not receive all information necessary to calculate and pay backdated weekly compensation until WINZ provided benefit refund details on 11 September 2006 and ACC paid within one month thereafter; Pathway notes and emails did not prove that earnings or other required information existed earlier, therefore s114 did not trigger liability for interest and the appeal is dismissed.
