Taylor v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2000] NZACC 257
- Court
- District Court
s.101 does not entitle appellant to interest because the insurer was not obliged or lawfully able to pay the higher weekly compensation until the Review Officer's decision and until it received the necessary WINZ reimbursement information; the Corporation paid the lump sum within one month of receiving that information so no late payment occurred under s.101; s.101 is a deterrent to delay not a general compensatory provision for arrears discovered on review.
