Lawrence v Accident Compensation Corporation (Funding for Surgery)
- Citation
- [2017] NZACC 35
- Court
- District Court
Section 128 plainly bars ACC from paying for costs incurred outside New Zealand and the Regulations and statutory exceptions relied on do not authorize ACC to fund or contribute to the overseas surgery or to pay an equivalent NZ cost; accordingly the District Court has no jurisdiction to order such payment and the review decision upholding ACC's declination is correct.
