Steel v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2013] NZACC 145
- Court
- District Court
The application to recall was dismissed because the applicant sought to challenge substantive factual findings and re‑argue issues already decided; no new legal authority or statutory change was shown, s117(2) had not been argued at the hearing and was irrelevant given the factual finding that the applicant was not under a driving handicap, and the court will not entertain settlement‑style orders or substitute reconsideration for appeal; however the court recognised an ex gratia position and directed ACC to make up transport liabilities incurred before the decision date for consistency.
