Chalecki v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2016] NZACC 210
- Court
- District Court
A draft IRP that has neither been agreed to by the claimant nor been finalised by the Corporation is not a 'decision' or a 'claim for entitlement' for the purposes of s134(1)(b); therefore there is no jurisdiction to review a draft IRP under s134(1)(b), and a claimant must agree to the plan or await deemed finalisation to create a reviewable decision; additionally the Reviewer lawfully exercised discretion under s148(2)(b) to refuse costs where the review was not reasonably brought.
