Farrell v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1998] NZACC 149
- Court
- District Court
Section 142 unequivocally limits entitlement to weekly compensation to the earlier of 30 June 1997 or the ACC 1982 cessation date; s.67A cannot be used to extend or create entitlement beyond the explicit statutory limits and estoppel cannot compel the respondent to make payments it is not statutorily authorised to make, therefore the respondent's decision to cease payments on 30 June 1997 was correct.
