Nickalls v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2016] NZACC 187
- Court
- District Court
The Court dismissed the appeal: ACC's setting of attendant care and home help rates was a lawful exercise of its broad statutory discretion under s81 and Schedule clause 14; no deemed decision arose from the 2007 correspondence; allegations of discrimination failed; the 2008 review decision bound the appellant and precluded re‑litigation; Williams v ACC is fact specific and not a universal precedent.
