Fairgray v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2003] NZACC 118
- Court
- District Court
Leave to appeal was granted because the application raises a substantial and difficult statutory interpretation issue — specifically whether s.147 applies where a claim was acknowledged but wrongly processed before the 1992 Act — and because a purposive reading may be required to avoid a severe injustice to an applicant who timely lodged a claim.
