Dewes v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2012] NZACC 371
- Court
- District Court
The decision to decline funding was legally correct because Reactivate did not meet the statutory definition of a treatment provider under s6 and the claim therefore failed the statutory requirements in s81(4) and Schedule 1; the respondent's exercise of discretion was not shown to be on a wrong principle, so the refusal to fund treatment and travel stands.
