    Strickland v Accident Compensation Corporation

    Citation
    [2016] NZACC 258
    Court
    District Court

    The 1 November 2012 letter did not constitute a decision under s6; the subsequent claim merely duplicated an earlier claim dismissed for lack of injury and raised only factual issues; extenuating circumstances are a factual assessment and were not established; therefore no question of law arose and leave to appeal was dismissed.
