- High Court
The Authority erred in law in its interpretation and application of ss 7–10 of the NZ Superannuation and Retirement Income Act 2001 by treating s 10 as exclusively determinative of the residence requirements in s 8(b) and (c) and by imposing a requirement that a missionary must show a 'settled life' in New Zealand and that absences are temporary to be ordinarily resident; the issues are fit for leave to appeal to the Court of Appeal.
