Weal v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2008] NZACC 183
- Court
- District Court
The appellant's fax dated 13 October 2006 was effectively given to the Corporation (received into the ACC mail room) and therefore the review application was 'given' for purposes of s135; ACC failed to set a hearing within three months as required by s146, entitling the appellant to a deemed decision quashing the respondent's 11 October 2006 revocation. The Reviewer had jurisdiction to consider the s146 issue but not to determine the substantive correctness of the revocation.
