Newport v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1996] NZACC 5
- Court
- District Court
The appeal is dismissed because s 135 of the 1992 Act confines preservation of entitlements under the 1982 Act to claims already accepted under the earlier Acts or to claims lodged by 1 October 1992; there is no statutory basis to treat the appellant's late claim as having been lodged in time or to extend the old Act's benefits to him.
