- Citation
- [2012] NZACC 236
- Court
- District Court
The Judge found that the advocate and claimant had reasonable grounds to complain that the case manager's communication could have hindered effective communication with the assessor; therefore the Reviewer erred in concluding the applicant did not act reasonably for s148(2)(b) purposes and the Reviewer's refusal to award costs was quashed; costs were to be awarded to the appellant for the review and fixed compensatory costs for the appeal.
