BODY CORPORATE 303953 v WANG [2015] NZHC 2039

Citation

[2015] NZHC 2039
Court

High Court

Court concluded the buildings were damaged; a coordinated s 74 scheme was appropriate; the proposed detailed scheme, including allocation of indirect and associated costs by utility interest to address inequity and economies of scale, was fair and within permissible departures from the Act and therefore was settled pursuant to s 74 Unit Titles Act 2010.

Farquhar v Accident Compensation Corporation

Citation

[2004] NZACC 304
Court

District Court

Transitional provisions of the IPRC Act clearly apply to cover accepted before 1 April 2002 and import Part 4 procedural mechanisms including the duty to undergo an initial occupational assessment and ACC's power under s117 to suspend entitlements; the appellant unreasonably refused the assessment after warnings, so suspension of entitlements was lawful and appeal is dismissed.
