Robinson v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2003] NZACC 168
- Court
- District Court
The letters of 20 December 2001 and 14 February 2002 were explanatory communications and not 'decisions' under the Act; the substantive decisions about the lump sums were made in 1993 and 1994 and review rights arising from those decisions have been exhausted, so the Court has no jurisdiction to entertain the appellant's substantive complaints under the Accident Insurance Act; recovery or inquiry into whether payments were actually received must proceed in ordinary civil proceedings.
