Drennan v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2014] NZACC 113
- Court
- District Court
The appellant failed to establish any element of the statutory defence in s 251(2): there is no persuasive evidence of good faith, no rebuttal of intentional contribution given prior warning and inaccurate declarations, and no cogent evidence that he altered his position in reliance on the payments so as to make repayment inequitable; accordingly the Corporation's determination of an overpayment is upheld and the appeal is dismissed.
