Earner premium

    Ohia v Accident Compensation Corporation

    Citation
    [2001] NZACC 191
    Court
    District Court

    The Amended Regulations were in force when the invoice was issued and explicitly required using 1998/1999 self-employed earnings to calculate the premium for 1 July 1999–31 March 2000; the plain language of the Act and Regulations required that approach and precluded substituting 1999/2000 earnings or invoking equity; the respondent's calculation and the partial refund for overpaid earner premium were therefore correct.
