Rongonui v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2009] NZACC 69
- Court
- District Court
The Reviewer correctly declined jurisdiction over a s21 mental injury claim because the Corporation had never made a primary decision on such a claim; the correct remedy was for ACC to issue primary decisions on whether pepper spray caused additional physical injury and whether a s21 mental injury claim arises, and the Court directs ACC to do so; appeal otherwise dismissed.
