McNicol v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1995] NZACC 50
- Court
- District Court
The Corporation is bound by the Act and Regulations and has no discretion beyond them; because the appellant permanently moved and ceased to incur travel costs the Corporation cannot continue to pay transport or the accommodation payments tied to transport, and a cordless telephone is not an item "specifically designed for use by disabled persons" and is therefore excluded under the Regulations, so the appeal is dismissed.
