- Court of Appeal
Because Part 13 of the 1998 Act required entitlements accepted before 1 July 1999 to be determined under Part 5 procedures (s426(3) and s429), ACC lawfully relied on s116 of the 1998 Act to suspend the appellant's payments. The appellant's central contention that s116 did not apply was incorrect; the High Court correctly struck out the judicial review claim and the appeal is dismissed.
