Van der Kaap v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1999] NZACC 181
- Court
- District Court
The Court held the assessor conducted the required consultation under the regulations and the claimant's signature did not convert the assessment into an agreed IRP; although payments made without an approved IRP are technically unauthorised under s19(1), the respondent's discretionary assessment was not shown to be manifestly wrong and the Court will not substitute its own view, therefore the appeal is dismissed.
