Tukapua v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1997] NZACC 26
- Court
- District Court
The appellant failed to notify a change of address and failed to provide required submissions; the respondent reasonably closed the file; section 147(1) is unambiguous that entitlement required payment on or before 30 June 1995 (except where payment results from a review or appeal decision) and no payment was made by that date; therefore the appellant is not entitled to lump sum compensation and the appeal is dismissed.
