- High Court
The Authority's factual findings that Mr M received income deposited into Ms D's account and that that income should be attributed over the contract period were supported by evidence; the Authority's estimation of deductible business expenses using IRD benchmarks was reasonable; accordingly the calculated overpayment was sustainable and there was no error in refusing to direct the Chief Executive not to recover the debt.
