Reddell v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2008] NZACC 275
- Court
- District Court
Section 252 requires refund of gross excess benefit to the social security department and ACC's role is responsive; IRD/other authorities effectively fix tax amounts and there is no statutory provision authorising ACC to reimburse the appellant for additional tax arising from receiving a lump sum, therefore ACC's calculation and deductions were lawful; leave to appeal granted only on the discrete question of who fixes the amount (left to High Court).
