Rouse v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1998] NZACC 272
- Court
- District Court
The October 30 letter was sent in error and was not intended as a final decision; alternatively it was effectively revoked by the 8 December 1997 decision. The Corporation validly exercised its discretion under Regulation 6 considering necessity and cost-effectiveness, the statutory maximum, the applicant's pre-existing disabilities unrelated to the covered injury, and the applicant's existing vehicle assets; the $7,000 contribution was not fixed on a wrong principle and the appeal is dismissed.
