Emerson v Accident Compensation Corporation

Citation

[2014] NZACC 351
Court

District Court

A notice that fails to contain reasons as required by s64(4)(b) does not invalidate the substantive decision but delays the commencement of the statutory three‑month review period until reasons are provided; accordingly the Reviewer retained jurisdiction to continue the substantive review despite defects in the original notice.

Court

High Court

Special leave to appeal is declined because, although there is an arguable point that the ACC's decision to prosecute did not constitute a reviewable decision absent written notice required by s64, the subsequent resolution of criminal proceedings and ACC's acceptance of entitlement rendered the issue moot and not of sufficient general importance to justify special leave.
