Charteris v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1998] NZACC 94
- Court
- District Court
The appeal is dismissed because s135 brings the appellant's claim within the 1992 Act and s88(2) prohibits payment for treatment incurred outside New Zealand unless regulations permit it; no such regulations exist, so the respondent has no power to pay; the negligence complaint fails because there is no obligation to notify all potential claimants of legislative change.
