Messner v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1997] NZACC 180
- Court
- District Court
Claims for treatment, rehabilitation and attendant care arising after 1 July 1992 were not payable because no entitlement under the 1982 Act was shown to be preserved by ss135,136 or 149, the 1992 Act and its regulations did not authorise overseas treatment for injuries sustained in New Zealand, and required prior approvals were not obtained; accordingly the Corporation had no power to pay and the appeal was dismissed.
