Houma v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2001] NZACC 42
- Court
- District Court
The appellant failed the third statutory requirement of s372(2): she did not so alter her position in reliance on the overpayments that repayment would be inequitable; mere expenditure on ordinary living is insufficient and, for the second period, she knew or ought to have known the payments were not due, so remission is not available.
